Nice try, but apparently Power DVD DX overrides WMP, because this disk won't
play with WMP. I think Tempurpedic deliberately designed this disk to play
only with Power DVD DX so that you can't skip forward or backward during
playback, forcing you to watch the entire presentation. Very clever
marketing.

Hi,
may be this disk has an autorun file with a small exe file for the program
on it.
How to fix:
1. put the cd into the computer and close power DVD DX.
2. open WMP, open the play menue, and press enter on the DVD, VCD or CD
audio menu item.
It should work.
Best regards,
adi.

Power DVD version 6 almost 100% was accessible from the applications
menu. Try it.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] DVD Playback
Today, I received a promotional DVD from Temperpedic, the Swedish
company famous for its memory foam mattresses. When I inserted it into
my DVD drive, it began playing with a program called Power DVD DX
instead of Windows Media Player 11, which is set as my default media
player on my XP Pro computer. I was not aware that Power DVDDX was
even on my computer unless it was installed automatically when I
inserted the DVD. This program had no menus or user interface, so
there was no way to control the DVD playback. Using the JAWS cursor
didn't help. The only way I could stop the DVD was by pressing Alt-F4
to close this program. What the heck is Power DVD DX, and is there any
way to make WMP override it? Thanks.
