Problems with Cd Roms Drives not auto refreshing in My Computer
Hi,
I recently rather stupidly installed some DVD software that seems to have messed up my Cd Rom settings. I have three drives a Yamaha F1E Cd writer, A Pioneer DVD Drive, and a recently purchased BTC 1008Dvd Rw. Following the software install it seemed to have turned of the autorun settings in the registry. I have now uninstalled the software but it hasnt reverted to the original settings. I understand that some of the dvd writing programs disable autorun to prevent "undesired" problems with the writers - however this has certainly caused an undesired problem as that my cd rom drives arent working properly!! I have read elsewhere on the group or Google that you need to reset the Hkey_Local_Machine\System\Services\Control Set\CdRom back to 1 from 0. I appear to have 3 control sets and I have put the autorun all back to 1. The problem is that now both the Pioneer and the BTC drives are ok however the Yamaha is playing up and doesn't refresh when a new disk is put in. Can anyone give me a hand with this one. Thanks in advance. Eddie |

Problems with Cd Roms Drives not auto refreshing in My Computer
Just as a quick update I did a further search and found a previous posting
regarding problems with autorun I have been to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm where there is a registry tweak to enable autorun for cd roms which I have done and restarted my pc but still with no joy. Hope someone has an idea. Cheers Eddie "Eddie" wrote in message s.com... Hi, I recently rather stupidly installed some DVD software that seems to have messed up my Cd Rom settings.
