If that's supposed to do it, then I might be having a technical problem with my player, because it isn't doing it. The side popup appears when I start playing any movie, and stays there until I move the mouse, at which point it vanishes (cursor is already in the center of the screen, not hovering over the menu).
I've tried disabling the following:
*Show Information
*Automatically connect to the Internet for movie information
*Display rating dialog when playback stops
*Automatically sign in to MoovieLive
*MoovieLive Features
It seems PowerDVD is ignoring my preferences for some reason.
