According to Microsoft's article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q314939
this was fixed in Service Pack 1. Are you up to date on your service
packs?

Have you got AutoPlay turned off? That _shouldn't_ affect auto insert
notification (showing contents of new disc), but maybe it does. I've
spent significant time just now googling, and have been unable to
find a clear answer on that point.
