Cd rom Auto Run

by john.cb1 . Updated 21 years, 11 months ago

When i put a cd/dvd in one of my 2 drivers the cd/dvd does not open automatically. It does not allow me to either install a program or give me the choice on what to do.

It does not display what cd/dvd is in the drive.

I have tried 3 Options.

Option 1

Right-click the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer and select Properties.
Select the AutoPlay tab.
Select the appropriate autoplay preferences.

What autoplay prerences do i need for it to detect any cd and then give me the option to chose.

Option 2

I have checked through Administrative Tools > Services > Shell Hardware Detection > Return this service to Automatic, and it is set to automatic.

Option 3

Start > Run > Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\Cdrom
AutoRun = 1

But still i have not managed to cure this error

What do i need to do to change this error
