CD's will not autorun in the cd/rom drive. I have the
same problem with the DVD drive.
Additionally,when I try to burn a cd; the blank cd is
read as no cd(have tried varied brands of cd/r and cd/rw).
Any suggestions?
 
Dear Coy,
I had a similar issue a few days ago. The following is part of the original
thread:

"When I insert any type of CD in either of my CD Drives, it will display the
icon for that particular disk, but when it is ejected, the icon does not
disappear. When a new CD is installed, the old CD icon remains. If I
double-click, the icon, the CD ROM drive acts as if the previous CD is still
in the Drive. The new CD does not appear."

This was the solution to my issue:

<"this is quite a common error, I dont know why microsoft dun fix it in
their releases lol

what you need to do is a possible two things:

First, Run this application.

The Microsoft AutoPlay Repair Wizard scans your computer devices to find
defective AutoPlay settings, and attempts to fix those it finds. Download the
Autofix utility from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/3/2/2326455e-a840-4c61-bc28-3afa1820b240/AutoFix.exe

And second, for your incorrect contents of the CD drive XP problem

Incorrect Contents Are Displayed in Windows Explorer

If you run the first application, it should fix the autoplay ( CD drive icon
etc.. ) and the second resolution should make sure the CD contents refresh
too.

I think that you are having the same problem.

Thank you sir. This little program is worth it's weight in
gold! Although it did not solve my problem, it said it
could be a possible hardware error. I wil have to get
another drive.
