How do I assign a DVD to play on a specific application?

Question

I had to have a new hard drive put into a Dell XPS200 that I bought less than a year ago & for some reason the tech that Dell sent did not install the "Cyberlink's PowerDVD " on here so now when I tried to play a DVD it automatically tried to launch it with WMP. My question is HOW can I pick something else to Open (play) the DVD with? When I go to the drive that the DVD is in I get "open" option plus all the other normal stuff you get when you right click but there is NO "open WITH" option. Thanks for any ideas

Answer 1

Open My Computer
Click on Tools > Folder Options
Go to File Type
Scroll through the file types until you find VOB (the extension for a DVD file)
Look for the "Open with" underneath the file types, and click on Change
Set it to use Power DVD instead of WMP.

Answer 2

put in a dvd ... then it should ask you ... or rightclick the drive in my computer, then go to properties then the autoplay tab and configure it .. u need powerdvd back or some other software installed to play dvds .. possible its on a restore disk and not installed ...
