No auto start on cd rom

[JF]

Whenever I put a CD or DVD into my CDrom drive it does not start automatically, it has nothing to do with the players I use as I have configured them to play auto start, anyone any idea? Thanks.

Note that a CD-ROM drive will not play a DVD.

Hi Ted,
Thanks very much for your help, I did what you said and the auto play is
working fine now. You wouldn't know how to fix my Automatic Updates function
would you? An error message appears when I try to open it saying....An
exception occured while trying to run shell32 dll, control_RunDLL
C\Windows\System32\wuaucpl, Automatic Udates.

Thank you.

JF

Sorry, I was only assigned AutoA- to AutoP-. AutoQ- to AutoZ- is
somebody else.

But seriously...

The experts in the Windows Update newsgroup will be happy to help you.
