Hello everybody,

Although it's not a major issue, the following problem bothers me :

When I insert a new blank CD in my CD Drive, nothing happens. Before,
Windows opened a box where I could select the application to run to burn the
CD, such as Roxio Easy CD Creator. As a result I must now go to "Start" in
order to launch that particular software.

I cannot relate this phenomenon with anything I could have done. I didn't
install any new software.

Now, this happens only when I insert a new CD. If I insert an audio CD or a
CD RW, or a CD with data on it, everything is OK.

Is there anything I should Try or check ?
Anybody ?

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi,

this is not a "phenomenon", surely somebody inserted a blank disk and when Windows asked him/her what app to use, the option "Take no action" was selected and marked the box "Always do the selected action". To change this, you have to select your CD drive/right click/Properties/"Autoplay" menu, then in the first box select "Blank CD" and mark the last option "Prompt me each time to choose an action" and click OK. It should solve your problem... sorry about my poor english :-) I hope this help you!

Cheers
 
Hello Krosty,

Many thanks for your kind message.

Actually I did what you suggested, to no avail. Whether I select a
particular application to run or ask Windows to prompt me, it makes no
difference.

All other suggestions are welcome,

thanks anyway,
best regards,
Daniel
