Autostart CD Installation

[Guest]

My wife's Toshiba Satellite 1000-S127 refuses to start an installation when
the CD is put into the D: drive. The CD runs, and then stops. I can start
the installation by manually clicking on setup, but my Dell Inspiron (also
with XP Pro) just starts installation when I put in the new program's CD. I
have checked Start>My Computer>rt clicked D: drive> properties> AutoPlay,
and made sure both laptops have Music, Picture, Video, Mixed, Music and DVD
set to "Prompt me...." My laptop starts installations immediatetly, hers
doesn't. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello Ed,

If David's fix doesn't work - I've used it before with varying success
- try this:

Copy the text below between the dotted lines, but not the dotted lines
themselves. Open Notepad and paste it in. Save the result in a
suitable location as drive.reg - making sure that the default .txt
extension doesn't appear in the file name.
Double-click on the saved .reg file to merge the contents.
Restart.

David, you are GOOD! [and so is Claymore--] it WAS an incorrect Registry
entry, which the AutoPlay Repair Wizard found and corrected. I stuck in an
Office XP CD and it started installation just like it should. THANK YOU BOTH
