When I insert a CD or DVD or Camera Card, a prompt window opened, asking what
I wanted to do.
This window suddenly NO longer opens,as my skills are in the beginner
stage,I am sure its something I did..
By the way, if I open [ ie. WMP ] the CD or DVD will play .

Any help would be appreciated
THANKS

Check your settings here:

Select the associated sub-key, if 'NoOpenWith' is listed, delete it.

Also here:

This setting allows you to control whether the checkbox to save the "Open
With" program is available when an unknown file type is opened.

That is a registry key and to view it, go to the Start menu, Run and type:
regedit and click OK. This opens the registry editor and navigating in
it is similar to navigating in Windows Explorer. You click the + sign in
front of the registry key (folder icon) to display another branch. Since
you are not familiar with the editor, only make changes or deletions when
you have specific directions. To be safe, if you delete anything, click on
File and select Export. This will create a .reg file that can be used to
restore the deleted data should a problem arise.

Update: did the items listed below..
still NO prompt window appears.
What would make it suddenly stop, as I never had trouble with it.
Any thoughts ?
