CD icon won't refresh until reboot

P5WD2, Pentium D 830, 2GB, a few hard drives, two LG DVD-RWs, XP SP2.

This is an annoying problem that's been plaguing me for a while now. On a
fresh boot I can stick a disk in a drive and Autoplay works, the icon in My
Computer shows the disk's label and icon, everything is fine. However when I
take the disk out the label and icon of the disk remain in My Computer. If I
stick another disk in the label and icon of the first disk don't change and
Autoplay doesn't start, although I can still open the new disk and run it
manually. I have Alcohol 120% installed with one virtual drive and that
drive behaves much the same way. Any suggestions?

Hi SBlackfoot

Try this:

Open Regedit and navigate to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDrom

In the right-hand pane look for the value AutoRun and make sure it is
set to 1. If not, change, close Regedit and reboot.

Hope this helps :)

Oh you're good, that seems to have worked perfectly. It was set to zero.
Thanks!
