CD drive won't refresh
My Asus CD/DVD combo drive will not update the volume OR THE content
informaiton when I swap disks. I noticed this some months ago. I reformatted my hard drive (for other reasons) and found that both of my CD/DVD combo drives will not reflect the new disk (i.e. installing my programs, WIN XP SP2 displays the volume name of the FIRST disk. The volume name (preceding the drive letter) never changes when I insert other program disks.) In addition, the displayed content from the FIRST disk remains. The only way to clear the content is to eject the disk, F5, re-insert the disk. The new CONTENT will display, but the VOLUME name never changes until I log out of Windows. This is particularly troublesome when playing DVDs. Is a registry setting off? If so, anyone know what setting I need to check? |

Try The Windows XP TweakUI powertoy or Uwe Sieber's tool to disable the autoplay feature(s) on the CD/DVD drives, may be part of the problem.. The above should help, did for me, anyway.. If TweakUI is too unstable for you try the new tool, your call.. Cheers j;-j "GEVan" wrote: My Asus CD/DVD combo drive will not update the volume OR THE content informaiton when I swap disks.

I don't think that disabling the AutoRun would help. I think that the 'auto insert notification' is deactivated and should be activated which can be done with my tool. Restart required.

Thank you for creating that tool Uwe, it has worked like a charm for me..
No more sitting around waiting for autoplay to figure out what media or program to use, only to find it has made the wrong choice or can't even tell if any media was inserted.. It is just a very nice tool to use to enable, disable, test autoplay settings for all users or for the current user, etc.. Keep up the good work.. Cheers j;-j "Uwe Sieber" wrote in message ...

1. Where is the registry setting for CD/DVD notification? 2. What is CD/DVD drive notification? I'm familiar with autoplay. What would a PC do without autoplay but enabed notification?

CD drive won't refresh
Well, GEVan you have posted to me, sounds like you want an explanation from
Uwe, post to him.. You might try Uwe's new Auto Run Settings tool, included in a previous post.. Open the tool, under local machine (all users) see if you can under "Drive Types" (restore) check the box for CD/DVD insert notification ([disabled] mine is unchecked) [requires a reboot].. For current user "Drive Types" I have my CD/DVD box unchecked, for current user "Drives" I have my G:& H: drive letters unchecked, this effectively has disabled autoplay for the optical drives and has allowed me to use software and media (manually) without a problem, you may need to experiment for your preferred settings.. Hope it can help Good luck Cheers j;-j "GEVan" wrote in message ... Uwe Sieber 1. Where is the registry setting for CD/DVD notification? There is a text file included with the tool that should indicate this, did you look at it..? 2. What is CD/DVD drive notification? I'm familiar with autoplay. When you load a CD/DVD your notified as relates to it's contents, you would see the movie title or program title under the optical drives icon, simply put.. What would a PC do without autoplay but enabled notification? You would just need to start a related app manually, simply put, you would have to start Windows Media Player or another media app(s) yourself or burning app(s) when inserting a DVD movie or DVD-/+R/RW, the same would be true for commercial CD's or CD-R/RW media.. A DVD movie would not change the icon in My Computer, holding the pointer over the icon would reveal it's size only.. One thing I have noticed with disabled notification though, is that if a DVD movie is left in the optical drive when the computer is shut down the DVD title is shown on reboot and after ejecting the media the icon will not refresh unless you log off or reboot without media present in the drive..

Notification enabled just makes the CDROM driver sends a notification message around when a media has been arrived or removed. Everything else is up to the receivers of this message. The Explorer decides then which action should be done then. With notification disabled no one will see when a new media is there, even the Explorer will not refresh the drive's label with the new media's label. Uwe GEVan wrote: Uwe Sieber 1.
