CD and DVD autorun not working
AutoRun is working on the 1 CD drive and two DVD drives.
However, the autoplay is not working. I used the autofix tool and it did detect errors in the autoplay V2, but it couldn't fix it. This is for all three drives. I really did a good search on the Internet to this issue and it pretty much says that the Autofix.exe is the magic pill. That isn't the case with my issue. I used TweakUI and that did not solve the issue. This is universal since it affects all users, even Admin. Any other ideas that maybe causing the autoplay not to work? Any tools that I can use that will help? Note: I also posted this in the General news group and kinda desperate to find an answer, so I posted here too. This is how I interpret the difference: Autorun is using the inf file. Autoplay gives a popup menu of choices to use the CD with a certain application. Thanks, MarkC |

CD and DVD autorun not working
Mark,
I assume you have tried the simple approach which would have been to load explorer, select a cd/dvd drive in the left hand section of the window, right click and then select "Properties" then select the AutoPlay tab. From this tab you can select which application should be run for which type of media file. If you have the "Prompt me each time..." radio button selected XP will ask you in a dialog what to do, however if you select a media type in the dropdown list and using the "Select an action to perform" radio button you can specify what app should automatically run each media type. Hope this is not the first thing you tried but, you didnt mention any of the simple stuff in your list of what you tried to do to fix it. Regards "MarkC" wrote in message ...

CD and DVD autorun not working
Thanks for the reply, yes that was done, with nothing happening. However I
did find the problem. Would you believe it was leftover files and registry entries from Logitech Mouse that was uninstalled recently? Once I got rid of that, and uninstalled the 6.2 MS Mouse drive and went with the default. Autoplay start working again. I was having some issues with the mouse and when I fixed that, it also fixed Autoplay. Mark "RiggsFolly" wrote in message ...

DVDs won't burn
Okay I'm trying to burn a small collection of DVDs but my burner won't work. Last one I made worked its just the screen ratio was screwed up. So I tried making another one, leaving my laptop alone as Windows DVD Maker did its thing. At the last 1% its stopped, saying the DVD burner wasn't working/installed. I've tried making other DVDs but the autorun won't work and the list of DVD burners is left blank. I've tried inserting blank DVDs and waiting for the E: drive to switch over after loading, only to get Not Responding. I don't know what happened....

Okay I still have that crappy problem. But if I turn in off and leave my laptop alone for a while, like 12 hours or so, the drive works, but only for a while. Spits out burning DVDs at 99% completion, and then its back to not reading discs...Should I get a new drive or get some geek squad help?

: I'm almost certain your problem is using Windows software to burn stuff. Everything MS makes is **** but for a variety of reasons most of the world has no choice but to use Windows. But I have NO Windows apps except the OS and that may be one of the reasons I have relatively few software-related problems. Get ImgBurn, free and actually works. I bought the one from www.goldenhawk.com a few years ago and keep on using /that/ so I haven't used ImgBurn myself but I hear it is just great. http://www.imgburn.com/ Standard disk maintenance procedures should be applied, and you should always burn from an .iso or .udf image file recorded on a freshly defragged partition. Yes, you need partitions. And you should burn at slow speeds for best quality. |
