Ok, when I insert a CD/DVD into my drive after the computer starts up, it works fine. I open windows explorer and select the drive and all CD/DVD contents appear. The problem is, when I eject that disc, and insert another, it does not autostart, nor does windows exporer detect the new disc and contents on the drive. It continues to show the content of the disc I ejected. I have 2 drives, a DVD-ROM and a DVD-RW dual layer. The only way to start or view anything on the new disc on either drives, is to restart the machine. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jeff

Open the drive and press the "Refresh" key (F5) and the disk contents will change.

Once I thought I was wrong, now I'm not so sure!
