Re: Regular Account unable to play DVD movie?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Have you tried giving them the rights then logging on and making the settings changes required and then taking the rights away again?

Rick,
Thank you for the response. I would prefer not give the kids admin rights for obvious reasons. Just don't know why playing a simple DVD is such a major issues that requires Admin rights ! I have User Control (the annoying popups for everything you try and do) turned off.

Can you perhaps attach that link ?

I have tried searching MS Support but for some reason don't get many hits. Will have to do some more digging.

Thanks again

Andre

Andre, I see you are having a problem playing a DVD in Windows Vista. I
work with the Windows Outreach Team, and would like to help.
I am not tech support, however I can let you know about a few things in
Vista that might help. First you can only install programs, or make
changes to Vista if your logged in as an administrator. If a member of
your family is logged in as a standard users than they will not be able
to change those settings. So you can grant them the admin permissions,
which you already have done and they will be able to. However I
understand that could leave your PC open to anyone to tamper with
settings or install programs. Below is a link to the Windows help and
how-to page over at Microsoft.com and you can read about user controls
and settings and see if that helps. If you have further question don't
hesitate to ask I can dig into it a bit more and try and get you more
help.
Rick
