When I insert a CD or DVd into either of my drives it
does not autoplay and the icon in my computer does not
change to show what is in the drive.
I have checked the autoplay options in My Computer and
they seem OK.
Any suggestions please

Hi

First thing..
Right-click the CD drive letter, choose PROPERTIES, then the AUTO PLA
tab, select Music CD in the box, and click on PLAY

If no go..

Enable auto-run, from Microsof
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Click Start, click Run, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then press Enter

2. In Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, expand the System key, expand the CurrentControlSet key, expand the Services key, and click the CDRom key

3. In the right pane, to enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1 by right clicking the Autorun entry, clickin
Modify and typing 1 in the Value data box

4. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, expand the Software key, expand the Microsoft key, expand the Windows NT key, expand the CurrentVersion key, and click the Winlogon key

5. In the right pane, right click the allocatecdroms entry, clic
Modify, type 0 in the Value data box, and click OK

6. Close the registry editor, and restart the computer

If the problem still occurs, check the following registry keys. They also can affect the Autorun function

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x0000009

-and

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x0000009

The correct value for each is 0x00000095. If the value is set as another incorrect data, please modify it

Note: If you are not familiar with regedit, export the regisrty and save it before applying any change
