Greetings!

I've built my menu, everything is complete, I have some movie pictures on my main "autorun" page. When I click one of them, is there a way to simply start the Windows Media player (in my case version 7) just like it would do when I double click on the the file ? Actually the movie is starting on the main page itself... I would prefer externally on a WMP windows. Thanks for any help !

Well...Before everybody laught at me. :-). I tried the file.open code, but WMP crashes each time I "preview" my project. BUT, when I really "build" the project, everything works fine...
Silly me....:-)

That is weird because a Preview simply builds to your Temp directory. The WMA file format is shaky at best sometimes so I would probably pin your problem on this. When possible it is best to use a more stable format like MPEG or AVI.
