Why it doesnt work on everyone's computer?
Heres an idea:
First, it is VBscript. Who's behind vbscript? Microsoft. Heres a quote from some random webpage searched from google:
| quote: | | VBScript is Microsoft's answer to Netscape's popular JavaScript.(...)Although Microsoft does support Netscape's JavaScript (it converts it into its own JScript), Netscape does not support VBScript. |
So it should only work for internet explorer.
Second, look at this line, this is a line from the source code of that web page:
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
I dont know vbscript at all, but I think this is a vbscript line that should work with recent "Windows Media player" versions only. This is only guessing, but I think it (opening CD's) does work with Windows XP by default, because it has a quite recent vesion (7 or 8, I dont know)
Want a proof? For those running Windows, try this: Click on start, then choose "Run...". Enter wmplayer and press on OK.
My guess:
- People that was able to run "wmplayer" should have their CD drives opened automaticly by this page
- People using internet explorer that which their CD drive DIDN'T open are using an older version of Windows, or simply witout the new Windows Media player (with the blue'ish skin and the weirdo visualisation plugin)
