Guest dunnpy@gmail.com Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 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
Guest Kelly Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 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.

Guest dunnpy@gmail.com Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 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?

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. -- Nightowl
