Re: CD drive won't refresh

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





I don't think that disabling the AutoRun would help. I think
that the 'auto insert notification' is deactivated and should
be activated which can be done with my tool. Restart required.

Try The Windows XP TweakUI powertoy or Uwe Sieber's tool to disable the autoplay feature(s) on the CD/DVD drives, may be part of the problem..

The above should help, did for me, anyway..
If TweakUI is too unstable for you try the new tool, your call..

My Asus CD/DVD combo drive will not update the volume OR THE content informaiton when I swap disks. I noticed this some months ago.

I reformatted my hard drive (for other reasons) and found that both of my CD/DVD combo drives will not reflect the new disk (i.e. installing my programs, WIN XP SP2 displays the volume name of the FIRST disk. The volume name (preceding the drive letter) never changes when I insert other program disks.) In addition, the displayed content from the FIRST disk remains. The only way to clear the content is to eject the disk, F5, re-insert the disk. The new CONTENT will display, but the VOLUME name never changes until I log out of Windows.

This is particularly troublesome when playing DVDs.

Is a registry setting off? If so, anyone know what setting I need to check?
