CD-ROM does not autorun with XP
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: THISOLDLIGHT
Since installing WIndows XP on my system, I cannot get any CD's to autorun. I know that you must log on to XP as an administrator or power user for this function to work, but this has not made any difference. I have also checked that registry setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentCOntrolSet\Services\CDRom has the Autorun value set to 1 to enable autoruning of CD's. I would appreciate any other suggestions.
System Info:
Processor - AMD 900mhz Duron
Memory - 512MB
video card - Mirage AGP 32MB
audio - Soundblaster Live
operating system - Windows XP Professional

Double your "My Computer" Icon select your cd and then right click and you'll see a tab called "Autoplay" from this select which action you require.

I tried going to My Computer, selecting the cd drive and then right clicking and tabbing to "Autoplay" . I get an error message that says "no SCSI host adapters found" as soon as I right click on the CD drive. I close the dialog box and it reopens a couple of times, then it does go away. At that point I can go ahead and tab to autoplay and select the action to perform. It was already set to open Windows media player when an audio CD or music file was found, but it does not work. Also, I see no selections there to affect the autolaunching of other applications. I can put any CD including a Windows operating system CD into the drive, and it will not autolaunch.
I don't know why I am getting the error about no SCSI host adapter found, or if it even has any affect on my problem here. Just for grins I uninstalled the CD drive and let Windows find it when I rebooted, but this made no difference either.
