Vista not recognizing DVDs while Media Center is Running

Hi!
I've set my autorun to autoplay DVDs in media center when inserted. When playing a video off my HD in the Media Center, then inserting a DVD, Vista refuses to see the DVD or any other movie I insert! When I quit Media Center, the DVD is suddenly recognized and everything works fine. I want to use this without a keyboard in my living room, so this solution isn't viable. Has anyone else had this problem?

Also, this is my first post, so I'm sorry if I posted something incorrectly!

Use a program like PowerDVD, it works much better for DVD's.

Will PowerDVD run natively in MCE? Like I said before, I'm trying to use this system without a keyboard (only a Media Center remote control)

I have never used Media player so I don't know about that. I recommended a player I know that does work.

I use VMC and PowerDVD Ultra and can play DVD's without a keyboard. I use a Logitech Harmony 1000 to control the entire environment.
