breadboi Posted August 15, 2006 CID Share Posted August 15, 2006 For some reason my DVD drive dosesn't autorun anymore. The drive is not broken, I can still access a CD by going to my computer and pressing the cd icon, but how can I make it so that whenever i put in a CD or something it pops up automatically. It worked fine before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadboi Posted August 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's not the autoplay feature, I think it has something to do with the registry, like in this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q155217/. I checked it and mine is set at 1, but it still doesn't autorun. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted August 16, 2006 CID Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think it has something to do with the registry, like in this article Thinking since since you said "registry", and this might be off the beaten path. But have you checked in safemode to make sure you are running a clean computer? Spyware or Virus? Or have you tried restore point? Here's something to read: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims2/show_msgs.html?topic_id=m-1-29792996 http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/153676.html http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/archive/index.php?t-32292.html I hope this helps.
