Autoplay in WinXP

[joker_927]

You know, when you put in a disk and it starts up, well it stopped doing that yesterday. I have rebooted and taken disks out and all the basics but it won't come back on. WinXP doesn't have the checkbox for "auto insert notification" like old windows did. Even if I put an audio cd nothing come up, nothing. Also, if I right click a CD that I know has an autoplay.inf, it doesn't say AutoPlay in bold like it does if I put the same cd in another computer.

Don't know where it went but I hope someonw knows how to get it back.

Thanks

Just browse "My Computer" and right-click the CD-ROM icon of choice. Choose "Properties" and then click on the "AutoPlay" tab. Choose in the list what you want to do with each media type.

Totally sorry for this post. It seems some DVD decoder I installed was making it not work. I uninstalled it and now it works fine.

Thanks

Glad to hear that you solved the problem.

Just gotta love the side effects that modern programs have, so few and small compared to just a few years ago... (/sarcasm)

Thats interesting!

A friend of mine is having an issue like this,NO AUDIO CD WILL "CALL HIS PLAYER" and it used to...

He also has a DVD program to view DVD's,i will forward him to this thread

Techimo rocks!!

EDIT:

This did not solve his issue,the DVD player on his computer CAME WITH HIS COMPUTER.. (Uninstalling it had no affect)

Very confusing why its stopped "calling his player" after years of working right....
