Well, everyone else has addressed blackballing and the MVP question as well
as who pays whom.:-)

Hmm, your question. Try this, open Explorer, right click your CD-ROM drive,
select properties, go to the AutoPlay tab, make sure, "Prompt me each time
to choose an action" is selected, click apply. If it is already selected,
unselect it, click apply, reselect and click apply and see if that resolves
the issue; you might have to reboot the system to get it to start
functioning again.

NOTE: sometimes questions aren't answered immediately, it depends on who is
reading the group at the time and whether or not those reading have a
response. You may see other posts in the intervening period, mostly from
people who are not necessarily reading the posts but trying to find answers
to their questions so the board may seem active yet there may be few around
with answers. Couple that with the fact this is the weekend, some people
sleep later, others actually have a life beyond this board and sometimes it
can take awhile to get a response.
