My AUTORUN.INF file is not working - the CD just opens in explorer showing
files. Also the icon isn't displayed.

Try Power Toy's Tweak UI from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
Install, run and under My Computer/Auto Play/Drives you will find check
boxes to enable/disable Autoplay.

If non of the above fix the problem, then there is the 'Autoplay Repair
Wizard'

defective AutoPlay settings, and attempts to fix those it finds."

I have a different computer that I have tried the following fix but there is
no Auto Play under my computer after installing tweak ui. Found it under
Power Toys instead.

Hi the same kind of problem i m facing.
I have autorun.inf file in my DVD, but its working on win 2003 but not on win XP. To avoid this problem you can use autofix.exe software which will search for the problem in your drive and fix the problem..
