Default computer help required, boffins apply within

when you put a cd/dvd into the drive in the front of the computer you normally get a mesage saying "what do you want to do?" and then it gives you a few options to do stuff

this isn't coming up and the dvd is trying to open in media player, which doens't ercognize he format so doesn't play it

how do i get the list of options back up again without it automatically playing in wmp?

thank you

if your running windows vista,press start/default programs then set your default programs..ie windows media player 11,check that it has all its defaults.set these then reboot your computer.let me know if this works mate,ive had the same problem with mine..are you wanting it just to autoplay when you insert a disc??

Sounds like the S type ‘R’ which has the XKR engine. The alternative is the slightly larger XJR.

The former is underrated given that when launched it was the fastest production saloon in the world.
