Good day people, I hope someone here might have a fix for my problem. My computer shows my DVD drive as a CD rom drive. When I put a dvd in the drive I get a folder view of what is on the dvd, .vob files. I can right click on a file and choose play with power dvd and it will play. Auto play and Auto run don't work and DVD Movie is missing from the
properties. I have tried to some things like uninstall drives and reboot to reinstall but no help there. I have 3 drives and 2 are dvd but they show as cd rom.
Any thoughts or fixes out there??

Hi there phil65, welcome to Geeks to Go!

This does sound like an interesting problem. If you open "My Computer", right-click on the DVD drive listed there and select "Properties". Open the "Auto Play" tab. If you set up everything as you want it there, does it work?

You can also try the auto run repair wizard

The drives should show as DVD Drives when empty, they change to CD Drives with a disc in

No that doesn't help, I have tried to do the properties for each drive (auto play, auto run) but nothing helps,
I have googled my problem and find little help, one guy said he had the same problem and had to reformat
to fix it. Mabe thats my only option but I hope not.
I tried the auto run repair wizard, no help

Have you checked for firmware updates for the drives

[phil65]

I have tried uninstall and reinstall drivers and looked for update drivers and nothing helps.

Yea im having the exact same problem... what is there else to do?

Try using the drives in another computer, this would help you pinpoint where the problem is.

The option of using the drives in another computer is not something I can do, none available.
