1 of my problems is that my now non-useful TEAC CD/DVD-Rom drive still is the default. Is there a way I can permanently uninstall it?
My computer is a Compaq laptop. It is running Windows XP. Part of the reason I bought an external is that I don't want to have to take my laptop into an authorized HP Service Provider.

The Plextor I just bought is my only DVD player for my computer now, but it's not working correctly. First I tried a DVD+R that works fine in my DVD Player - when I tried to play in NERO player, WinDVD Player, Real Player, and Windows Media Player, the program just hangs. So I tried a commercial DVD (Disc 4 of Magnum PI Season 1) in Real Player (which was my default choice for viewing DVDs on the Teac) - after the initial Universal Studios intro, the image that appeared on screen was awful: the FBI message was jumbled and there were big dots (like a connect the dots game), the next image also had these big dots.

I want this to be my default DVD player, any help before I have to return this?

I took a CD-R and it played in Winamp just fine, but not Real Player.

I also burned a CD-R just fine.

Other than removing the drive from the laptop, in Windows go into the device manager and select the drive, then click Disable In This Profile.
