CD-ROM not logging new CD

[Rob W]

When a new CD-ROM is inserted in my CD-ROM drive, the
contents displayed continue to be those of the previously
inserted CD-ROM until the system is rebooted. Use of the
Eject command to eject the previos CD makes no
difference. There are no relevant entries in the Event
log, the driver is current and os reported to be working
correctly. Windows XP V5.1 SP1 Any clues?

If you refresh the view does it come back? Did you turn autorun off on the
drive?

Refresh makes no difference. Autorun is ON. Checked
Registry settings as per "The AutoRun or AutoPlay Feature
Does Not Work" in the MS KB, and they confirm AutoRun is
on. (Don't have Roxio Easy CD-Creator installed either).
Drive powers up when CD is inserted, but has no visible
effect on logged contents.

Had some modest success by first using Eject to eject old
CD, then inserting new CD which was not recognised until
I right clicked AutoPlay. I'll try some more combinations
to troubleshoot.

Any further ideas? Thanks...

Not all Cds autoplay btw, they must have an Autorun.inf file in the
root of the CD.
Also if you have Tweakui for XP, disabling some of the drive letters
can have the effect of disabling autorun on CD drives. Load up tweakui
and enable all the drive letters.
