In MXM, tell it to not auto-launch DVDs and/or change the default DVD/media player to your preferred DVD player. I just got the DVD playback kit and find the MS DVD player to be much nicer than DVD-X2. I have no need for region free playback, and DVD-X2 has trouble with many re-authored movies (only player, standalone or PC-based that has problems with them). The MS DVD player interface is much, much cleaner as well.
