Hey People,

I'm having a problem with autoplay for my CD-ROM. From all the settings I can find, it should work but it doesn't. If I go to the CD in MY Computer and right click, there is an autoplay option I can click on and it works that way. The drive works fine otherwise in any other way but that. I've been trying to install something that apparently needs to access it that way somewhere during the installation. So I just don't know what to do. Please help.

Larry

if u right click, and hit explore, usually in most CD's their a foler/file named autoplay.exe. Execute that and you should be good to go.
