View Full Version : "Autorun" on CD-ROM drive not working

I guess that the command line says it all, really. For some reason the
"autorun" feature isn't working when I put in a CD. Whether I put in a new
application CD-ROM, or a music CD, or even a memory card into the disk
reader from my digital camera, the autorun isn't working. I don't know what
I did. I'm not normally so clueless, but I am today. Please, if anyone can
remind me of what the solution is, I'll appreciate it a lot. I hate being
ADD sometimes! ;)

Have a blessed day!

The Microsoft AutoPlay Repair Wizard scans your computer devices to find =

Are you sure this is a _real_ Microsoft utility as it's only 75K [g]
