Autoplay does not work

[Guest Ed Wood]

I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 on a Desktop with a 2.1gb dual core

processor. I have two DVD burner drives. a Plextor PX712UP and a HP DVD Dual

Layer Writer DVD 840d. I am also have installed Powertoy's Tweak UI. Both

drives are set to Autoplay in XP's My Computer under the selected drive, and

in Tweak UI.

 

However, neither drive will auto start any disk placed in the drive(s). Not

Audio Cd, DVD, or Program disk for installation of product.

 

Does anyone have any suggestion what could be blocking the Autoplay feature?

 

Thanks,

[Guest John Barnett MVP]

Re: Autoplay does not work

 

Ed take a look at this link from my website:

http://vistasupport.mvps.org/autorun_autoplay_don't_work_when_cddvd_is_inserted.htm

 

Yes this does refer to Windows Vista, but the same procedure should work or

XP too.

Re: Autoplay does not work

 

John,

 

I think I had read your suggestion in another post and tried that. It did

not work for me. Like you, I don't have Roxio on my system. I use Nero 8 as

my software of choice. However, my BlackBerry software automatically

installed Roxio's Blackberry media creator (which failed to initialize) on my

computer, so I searched for Roxio and deleted all traces of it that I could

find. Still no autoplay.

 

Maybe someone else will have a solution.

 

Thanks for your help.

Re: Autoplay does not work

 

Thanks for the response. The autofix did the trick. It found that some local

settings were wrong, and fixed them. Both drives autorun now.

 

Have a great day.

Ed
