There are several registry entries that might effect that.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:0x000000FF
this disables autoorun completely
( 0x00000091 enables all but hard drives)
Start, Run and enter REGEDIT
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom] "Autorun" =
dword:0x00000000
OR
In XP Pro Go to start/run, and type GPEDIT.MSC. Go to Computer
Configuration, Administrative Templates, System find the item "Turn Off
Autoplay" There is a script available to do this for either version.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_cd_autorun.vbs
the value of dword:0x00000001 enables
If none of this applies, you probably have a driver for the cd that needs
updating
