Been there, done that, but which did not completely solve the problem. It turns out that my PC is very sensitive to any static electricity, even if i do not actually touch it. The other day it awoke when i started a laptop close by. I do leave one side of the case open, which i have done for...

And how would you run that code? Admin powershell?

Update. MS support got back to me and i showed him your fix (hope he appreciated it). He said that he and the techs had been looking into it (which is what he said last time). He then spent a few more minutes trying to get WMC to actually play the DVD directly, rather than launching it via "open...

That's the odd thing, for WMC can play the DVD, thus it can play .vob files, but will not do so individually. (I am getting "Your submission could not be processed because you have logged in since the previous page was loaded" even though it took only about a minute fromm hitting "quote"...

One thing i just noticed though, is that if i send a .vob (mpeg2) file within the DVD to Media Center (using Send to, as there is no Media Center option to the right click menu on .vob files), yet it will not play it. VLC player will.

I found that the latest LS software and the Simple labeler will install under Windows 8.1 (i used compatibly for W/7), but the LightScribeTemplateLabeler_1.18.27.10.exe will not install on it. I use an old version of SureThing so i do not actually need any LS labeler, but a complicated hack...

For me, who usually has 80+ tabs open (research, and ongoing threads, or frequently used tabs,etc.), Firefox is by far the best. With the TabMixPlus extension i can get multiple tab rows, which Chrone, IE and most others do not have, plus reduce the tab width (far more than Opera allows), and...

CONFIRMED: It works! Add to the growing collection of fixes/tweaks. Thanks again. I see the script is [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Media Center] @="Open with Media Center" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Media Center\command] @="\"C:\\Windows\\ehome\\ehshell.exe\"" I actually...

I have found Eightforums has many of those nifty and needed fixes or helpful tweaks (thank God for whoever is doing such work!), but i am still looking for an "open with" or "Send to" right click option.

The tech tried that: it does not work. Clicking on the DVD drive in Widows Explorer, or r. clicking and choosing "open," results in: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association...

First time here and posting, but this site often comes up near the in Googling for help, and I (and MS support) would appreciate your knowledge here. On my PC there is no "play with" or "Send to" menu for the optical drive in my PC under W/8.1, though it recognizes the DVD in it, and both VLC...
