playing a dvd

[Mike Arrigo]

Hi all. First, thanks for the kind words on the blind cool tech podcast, I'm 
glad everyone is enjoying it. I do have a question about playing dvds that I 
can't figure out. When I insert a DVD, then open dvd player, the computer 
seems to hang. Voice over says that an ok button has the keyboard focus and 
that I'm in a dialog, but I can't read the window. If I press space to 
select the ok button, dvd player closes and I'm returned to the applications 
folder. I've tried changing the setting in system preferences that indicates 
what will happen when a DVD is inserted, that didn't help. I also tried to 
access it with front row, and again, the computer seemed to hang. This is a 
store bought disk, and it plays fine on my PC, so I know the disk is fine.
