DVD/CD Writer does not autoplay

[Guest]

I installed an new DVD/CD writer (Pioneer DVR-109), and I cannot get autoplay
to work for music CDs and CD-ROMs (I have not yet tried a DVD). I have
changed the registry setting to "95", but it has not helped. My windows xp
is fully updated. Any suggestions?

Give this a try?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. Here's the log I received
when trying it:

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. Here's the log I received
when trying it:

Setting "95" in the registry is an old Win9x trick. I could be wrong but I
don't think it applies to WinXP (and may explain some of the log results).
Should probably remove that entry.

For *disabling* autoplay see the following:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-018
Reverse the steps to *enable.*

The first three suggestions on that page apply to WinXP. You might have
good luck installing TweakUI for XP. Disabling autoplay in the program (if
it's not disabled there already) and then enabling it again.
