Turning off autorun DVD Rom ?

[Guest]

I've suddenly developed a computer crash problem. When I load my dvd with any
disc the PC crashes ,yet when I reboot (Leaving the CD in the tray) I can run
the DVD or CD via Win Explorer. I haven't worked out if it is some kind of
conflict or a DVD drive problem ,No viruses found.
So as a temporary solution,
My question is ,How do I Stop My DVD Auto running in XP ?

Thank Jan

Navigate using 'regedit' (from run in start menu) to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

Change the value of the key 'Autorun' to '0'.
