At present when I put a DVD into myPC MWP forces itself as default player. I
have tried turning that off by un-checking the default box but it
automatically re-checks itself.

Can anyone tell me how to work around this so that I do not have to turn it
off every time before I play a DVD? I'm running v.10

Thanks

If it's firing up as your drive spins up then you need to change the drives
default actions.

Go to My Computer right click on your drive, go to properties and click the
autorun tab, you can make any changes from there.
