    Just a quick question, is there a way to make it so Media Center is the default player that opens when I put a DVD in my drive? Just kind of a pain to have to put the DVD in, then open Media Center. Thanks!

    Try go to Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Change AutoPlay settings -> DVD movie and see if Media Center is in there. I'm not sure because I have Vista Business.

    I checked that, and it's already set as the default player. But when I put a DVD in, it just spins up, and nothing happens.
