Re: CD and DVD autorun not working

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks, I got the AutoRun to Work on the 1 CD drive and two DVD drives.
However, the autoplay still is not working. I used the autofix tool and it
did detect errors in the autoplay V2, but it couldn't fix it. This is for
all three drives.

I really did a good search on the Internet to this issue and it pretty much
says that the Autofix.exe is the magic pill. That isn't the case with my
issue.

Any other ideas that maybe causing the autoplay not to work? Any tools that
I can use that will help?

Thanks,

MarkC

Hi,

Running XP SP2 and for some unknown reason the AutoRun it not working
when
Data CD's or Data DVD's are inserted. Also, when data CD/DVD are
inserted
usually a pop-up window comes up, that gives you a list of choices to
use,
that is not coming up either. Sorry but this is all I have to go on.
It's
been awhile since I used the CD drives so I have no clue on when or may
have
caused this. I am able to use the CD/DVD's that are inserted, nothing
wrong
in that area, just the part I mentioned stopped working.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Mark
