Hi.

For Win 7 try the following: Go to control panel - AutoPlay - untick "use autoplay for all media" in the top left.

I hope this works for you

Looks like that you may be refering to the remote control on a standalone dvd player. In that case be sure that the dvd has a menu and that back in the Create disc page of PD13 that you click the Playback mode button and uncheck the Auto menu timeout. The dvd will start on any dvd player to display the menu screen. It will then be up to you to hit the enter key on the remote control, not necessarily the play button. The play button is a toggle for pause also on some dvd player.

Let us know if any of the suggestions here is what you want. You may need to clarify your question to users here.

You are right about what I'm trying to accomplish. I did find the "Playback mode button" in the Create Disk page of PD 13 but the button never lit up so I couldn't open it. In other words I wasn't able to get into the playback mode to unclick the Auto menu timeout. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong in actually creating a menu. Can you offer some advice on how to access the Auto menu timeout mode. I probably should have mentioned that I'm using Windows 10.

Is your preview screen a few shades of Blue? If so, you have selected no menu, then the playback icon does not highlight as you saw. That blue preview screen is just a placeholder for no menu. With no menu, the disc plays when loaded.

If you want to change the playback you need to add your own menu. It could be a default menu or as simple as a blue background you create. By default auto menu timeout is not selected but you can verify on your new menu.

I like the very top (first) menu choice when creating the DVD.
Gives you full control over the chapters. Works great.
Just edit the chapter names to use other than Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. .

Never, under any circumstances, combine a laxative and sleeping pill on the same night.

Thank you very much. This certainly helped and I now have a DVD that I can start when I'm ready. Thanks a million!!!
