    In Windows Media Player, try clicking the "Tools" menu, then click "Options", then click the "Formats" tab, and click the "Select All" button. Now click "Apply" and click "OK".

    Note that these instructions are for Windows Media Player 7, but if WMP used to play CDs, you might actually have version 7.

    1.Click the View menu and click Options.
    2.On the Formats tab, click Select All.
    I don't know if these instructions of Windows Media Player 6.7 but I know these instructions are for Windows Media Player 6.4.

    Sorry, i goofed... Double posted, sorry...

    Why select all? Why not just select the ones you want and not the others?

    If you want it to be the default player for all media types then you have to select all.

    He could be talking about that, but you have to click Select All in order to make it the default player.

    By the way... How do you fix the auto-start for the CD's?
    In general? I can help, but first you will need Tweak UI.

    Moving along...

    Enable CD-ROM "Auto insert notification":
    1. Go to you System Properties (Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP):
    There are 3 ways to do this (choose A, B, or C and continue with step 2):
    A. On your keyboard hold down the "Windows Key" (the one in between Ctrl and Alt that looks like the Microsoft Windows logo) and press "Pause ___ Break".

    C. On your desktop, find the "My Computer" icon, right-click on it and choose Properties.


    B. Click the "Start" button (often called the Start Menu located at the bottom of the screen), highlight Settings, then click Control Panel, find "System" and double click on it.


    2. Click Device Manager, click on the + sign next to CDROM. Click on an item listed below then click Properties.


    3. Now place a check in "Auto insert notification" then click OK.
    NOTE: Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you have more than one CD drive!


    4. Click OK. Restart your computer!





    In Tweak UI (this should be the same for Windows XP users):
    1. Download Tweak UI and install it if you have not done so. You will need to restart your computer once installation is complete.

    2. Click the "Start" button (often called the Start Menu located at the bottom of the screen), highlight Settings, then click Control Panel, find "Tweak UI" and double click on it.


    3. Click the "Paranoia" tab. Look under "Things that happen behind your back." Place a check in the following:
    "Play audio CDs automatically"
    "Play data CDs automatically"
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer!






    NOTE: If you don't get TechTV, call your local cable or satellite provider.

    With the above post in mind, TechTV&#39;s Call for Help today (January 3, 2003) is going to talk about a CD-Player program that plays audio CDs and has the option to be set as the default player, it&#39;s called K-CD.

    Free File: K-CD
    Get a great alternative to the CD player in Windows.

    I really really really hope this helps.
