    Some issues with interactual player


    I'm sorting some of my music cd's, and some of them has a program installed on them called interactual player. If i click on it, it will try to install the program, and it will then crash, basically preventing me from listening to my music. It it possible to get rid of this program from my cd's?

    What program is it trying to install?

    Sounds more like you don't have a suitable app to load a Disc with interactive menus.
    Try loading the CD/DVD via VLC.

    From Wikipedia (with my bold)....

    InterActual Player, known originally as PC Friendly, was a media player for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, included on some DVDs with movie files. In addition to providing DVD playback control it makes available extra material on some DVDs, including commentaries, pop-up notes, synchronized screenplays and games. It requires existing DVD player software, which it embeds in the interface for playing the actual DVDs. ...

    ... If the user chooses to install InterActual Player it becomes the default DVD player and creates a shortcut on the desktop and a link to the InterActual website. It also asks the user to supply information voluntarily and allow usage data to be sent over the Internet. InterActual Player can also be accessed by the internet.

    As of January 2017, the service has been permanently shut down.

    Regarding...

    It would almost certainly be trying to use Windows Media Player which, prior to Windows 10, was capable of playing DVDs. This functionality was removed in W10, probably explaining the crash. If you wish to play DVDs in Windows 10 you need to install a media player capable of playing DVDs. VLC is one such player.

    A simple websearch would have answered this. InterActual Player - Wikipedia
