This is a normal unless you disable this function. John
When I put a CD into the drive, XP pops up a window wanting to know what I want done with it -- play it on Real Player, play it in Windows Media Player, rip tunes to the hard drive, etc. I always select Do Nothing, then I click the box that says "use this selection every time" or however it's worded. But still EVERY TIME I put a CD in, it asks me the same question -- what's up with that?
