Autorun issue on CD driver TEAC

I've an assembled PC, Athlon XP 1800+ on ECS MainBoard, with a TEAC CD
Driver, a DVD LG and a DVD-RAM. I choose using the Teac when I installed
some time ago the peripherials to go easy on the DVD when reading CD.

Recently, Autorun is acting very funny on the TEAC. When I put a CD into
the driver, nothing happens. So I double click on it, and the Autorun
starts. Plus, I can read every bit of data into the CD, nothing seems
wrong. Only, when I pull the CD out, it sometimes stays "fixed" on the last
CD that was into the driver, and I've to doubleclick to force him to
acknowledge the ejecting of the previous CD. Sometimes it resets to blank
CD alone, but never recognizes the new CD into the unit until I doubleclick
on the icon.

I tried with the microsoft tool, without any success. The registry keys
seem fine. I had Nero Burning Rom 7, and I deleted it to do a try. The
driver functioned for a day, than, after restarting Windows, the issue
began again.

I've got Windows XP Home Sp2, registered, of course.

Thanking you in advance

Hello Stefano,

Try this (from Microsoft):

Already tried, with no success. Somehow fixing the registry keys indicated
on the KB helps, and for a reboot or two the CD resumes its functionality.
Then it goes back again to his lack of Autorun. I hope to find a way to
make the changes stick... but thanks anyway

Could be a Nero leftover.
Run the Nero removal tool for version 7. You can get it here:
NeroCleantool

If you autoplay still doesn't behave, run the the Microsoft Autoplay
Repair Wizard again and restart.

The fact is... I've already done with the removal tool. So everything I
start it, it asks me for the installation folder. But there's no more such
thing, and a rapid search in my reg shows that everything that could
remotely have "Nero" and "Ahead" in it was wiped out.
If you autoplay still doesn't behave, run the the Microsoft Autoplay
Repair Wizard again and restart.

Doing so once in a restart everything goes well. But for example in this
restart nothing goes well. Well, even clicking with the right mouse key to
show the context menu jogs the Autoplay enough to let it go, but without
any manual stimulation it's dead. Here's the logging of the Rep Wizard,
jogging it in the testing phase...

Some boots, somehows, it went well though...
