Sometimes there is an alert message that prompts you to perform
specific actions. You will have to use Vo keys plus left arrow, till
you hear VoiceOver read the text in the window. When you press the
Okay, Button, unless you read the alert message, it assumes that you
want to ignore the message and close the window. It has to search the
disk in order to configure itself so it can play the disk in
question. HTH. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

Hi all. First, thanks for the kind words on the blind cool tech
podcast, I'm glad everyone is enjoying it. I do have a question
about playing dvds that I can't figure out. When I insert a DVD,
then open dvd player, the computer seems to hang. Voice over says
that an ok button has the keyboard focus and that I'm in a dialog,
but I can't read the window. If I press space to select the ok
button, dvd player closes and I'm returned to the applications
folder. I've tried changing the setting in system preferences that
indicates what will happen when a DVD is inserted, that didn't help.
I also tried to access it with front row, and again, the computer
seemed to hang. This is a store bought disk, and it plays fine on my
PC, so I know the disk is fine.
