CD Rom drive shows contents of previous CD

[Guest dunnpy@gmail.com]

Guys,

 

I wonder if anyone can assist with this:

 

XP with 2 DVD/Writer drives.

 

Insert a CD into drive, open contents - OK

Remove CD, My Computer recognises the CD has been removed and returns

the icon to normal

Insert a different CD and open - contents from the previous CD are

displayed.

 

This occurs on both drives in the system.

 

I've tried:

 

Microsoft Autorun fix - No fix

Removed drives and IDE controllers and let Windows redetect - no fix

Checked BIOS settings and restored defaults - no fix

 

The system isn't running anything unusual, I've even disabled all but

the necessary (Windows) items from running - no fix

 

Safe Mode - Everything works as expected, so it's something that

occurs only in normal mode.

 

Can anyone make any further suggestions - nothing hardware/software

wise has changed on the system.

I considered checking the cabling for the drives master/slave/CS or

whether they were running on their own channels, but didn't as it

works in Safe Mode and used to work I left this.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

 

Dunnpy

Re: CD Rom drive shows contents of previous CD

 

Just an old bug..... :o(

 

Suggestions:

 

Open My Computer, right click on the CD Rom in question,

Properties/Hardware/Properties/Volumes/Populate.

 

Other than that, this problem can occur if you are using Folder view in

Windows Explorer. The view may not be automatically refreshed in Folder view

in Windows Explorer.

 

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

 

Manually refresh Windows Explorer by pressing F5 or by clicking Refresh on

the View menu in Windows Explorer. And/or Do not use Folder view in Windows

Explorer.

 

Incorrect Contents Are Displayed in Windows Explorer

Re: CD Rom drive shows contents of previous CD

 

Kelly,

 

Thanks for your prompt reply.

 

I forgot to mention in my original post that Refresh (F5) doesn't make

any difference - you still get the contents of the previous CD.

 

Even populating the volume information doesn't show the correct

contents either.

 

I'll have a look at the colour depth and refresh rate (as mentioned in

one of the links provided) - can anyone think of anything further?

 

Thanks,

 

Dunnpy

Hi dunnpy

 

You could try this: open Regedit and navigate to the key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDrom

 

In the right-hand pane look for the value AutoRun and make sure it is

set to 1. If not, change, close Regedit and reboot.
