Explorer won't recognise CD changes?

[Len Cuff]

For some odd reasom my PC running XP Home has suddenly decided not to
recognise any CD change in Explorer OR autoplay either? This is
happening on both a CD and DVD drive. Odd thing is that if I open DVD
Shrink for example and go to the drives, it shows the correct label
names!!

Any ideas please?

TIA


cheers,
Len

It may be a fouled up autoplay setting, so that the autoinsert
notification is being lost. Microsoft people have written an unofficial
fix up tool for Autoplay. Without great confidence, I suggest you try
it - it is not on a MSoft site, but can be downloaded from
