Hi

My dvd/cd drive wont play on the auto run fuction.
I have a data disk and I am trying to use it but it wont run on my pc
can any one help?

Hello fruity,

I can't help you unless you tell me if you already have opened "my
computer", then choosing the drive that is giving you the problem, right
click it, choose "properties", select the "auto-play", tab, check to see if
the auto run function is enabled.

If so, and it still does not run on it's own, then do you have a third party
media player, or CD-RW software installed, or a combination of the two?

These programs can change the "default" auto-run function, or it can be as
bad as a trojan or virus.

So if you can be more specific I can try to help you, after you tell me what
if any additional software or if it simply needs to be enabled.

Hope this helps m8.

Before going too far, is the Drive in Device Manager and any error message?
