XP not showing CDROM/DVD title in Explorer left pane

[IanF]

Until recently Windows Explorer has shown the name of a CD inserted into
either the CD Rewriter or the DVD reader drive on my PC. Since about
two weeks ago, XP does not react at all to the insertion of a disk until
I click on the relevant drive letter in the left pane of Explorer. It
then shows the content of the disk but still does not show the disk
title info.

Also, Autorun does not operate even though it is enabled.

Running XP, Svc Pack 2, fully updated with automatic updates.
CD Writer is Aopen 52x32x52 DVD Reader is Aopen DVD ROM

Grateful for any help anyone can offer.
