Barry Beckham Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 I know you guys can help, my CD-ROM, DVD writer, CD writer and card reader will not autoplay. They were some time ago, but not now.The drives all work perfectly apart from that.XP ProChecked CD driver PropertiesI think the problem is in the registry and recall someone telling me what to do for a friend some time ago. Can anyone help or point me to a web site that can.TaBarry Quote

Michel Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Barry,you use regedit.exe in C:\Windows.You are right: in the registry.You find in Cdrom : AutoRun REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) (or (0) if disabledYou modify (0) with the right mouse button at (1). Quote
