Guest Ed Wood Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 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 Ed Wood Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 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.

Guest Ed Wood Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 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.
