I have a PC that lost power three time due to a storm and now the CD ROM tries to vue CD's as music CD's. It launches the media player every time a cd is put into the unit.
The OS is Win 98 on a ACER box any ideas for an easy fix. I have tried removing it from device manager and rebooting but that didnt work.
Thanks ahead for the help.

What that is is an auto open from either your cd-rom or from media player. Don't get mad about it I know its anoying but all you really have to do is just close the media player and just open what ever else you are trying to play the cd with. Its like when you have a game that has auto.exe if your system is configured to read the cd-rom every time you close it then it automatically executes the auto.exe file on the cd. If you dislike this you will have to disable the autorun on your cd-rom. Or change the file path for the audio file located somewhere in folder types.

There is a resgistry change that may fix this prob. But if you are not familiar with editing the registry, then you can get into serious trouble.... Pls. reply
