[RESOLVED] auto start with cd won't work

[ginnymc]

dad added new hd and now cd won't start automatically..checked properties of cd and it says auto insertion checked...have an E: for both start and stop cd name any more ideas..using win98..thanks Ginny

[wbatten]

Is this with all cds?

Some sound card programs can disable auto insert... They can have it auto play music cds but not data or visa versa. How long do you wait? depending on you system, it may take a while for the sampling to detect the cd

Is DMA checked for the CDRom? If so uncheck it, restart then try it, or visa versa.

check your sound card settings!

When you insert a CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, it may not be run automatically, changing this registry key should correct the problem.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new Binary value, or modify the existing value, called 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun' and edit the value according to the settings below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
