Hello again fellow Window-Eyes users: I tried using the player again today and found that there was an upgrade available. Thinking that this may be what needed to be done in order to correct the issue, I installed the upgrade, and tried playing the same dvd again. However, I'm still getting the same results as before. While the dvd is playing, I go to the play pull-down menuand arrow down through the choices. In doing this, I've found that the play/pause icon is checked, but Window-Eyes says that it's disabled. The stop command, which is the period key, is also disabled. The dvd I'm trying to play, is a loony toons cartoon dvd that my cousin had given to me. What can I say, I'm a kid at heart. Besides, I work with kids in my summer camp job every summer. Anyway, when the program starts, first a logo (I'm assuming it's the warner brothers logo, appears on the screen. Then, that goes away, then the opening cequence to loony toons starts to play, with that famous music we all know. This portion of the dvd is what keeps playing over and over again, and I'm not able to get past it. I press page up and page down, but nothing happens. I press spacebar to pause, but again, nothing happens, and the same with the period key. Like I said above, in the play menu, the play/pause, and stop options appear to be disabled. Why? Someone on the list mentioned the vlc player. Yes, I've heard of it, but I've also heard, that vlc is not user friendly with screenreaders, but Combine classic cinema is. The only command I seem to be able to get the player to respond to, is the up and down cursor arrows, which are used to turn the volume either up or down. You're supposed to be able to move a few seconds left or right during playback, by using the left and right cursor arrows, but those don't do anything either. This is quite weird.
