I need help trying to get my laptop to read cds or picture cds. I install a cd or vidio and nothing happens it wont show on my screen. I try looking in my computer but can not find anything to help me. I bought a book that shows me how to install autoplay but nothing happens., so if anyone can help I would apriciate it. A walk threw would help.

Thank you.

Control panel -> Program -> Default Programs

Third one down should be "Change AutoPlay settings"

Your solution should/could be in here ...

What are you trying to do exactly? Can you just open the CD in Computer and start the videos by clicking on them?

well I get to the page where I can change the defaults but after that still nothing happens. I get a music cd and insert it and it should automatecly come on but nothing.

Most burning programs will automatically disable autoplay since it interferes with some parts of the burning cycle.

Look in the options of your CD burning software to see if that option is set.

But, if that option is set in your burning program, or any other, then it will return to being turned off unless you can change the setting.

You might also run regedit and look here:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTyp eAutoRun

If the key is present, the default value is 149. If it is 255, autoplay is disabled.

sorry elvandil, how do I get to my cd burning softrear.

Try the registry tweak I gave. Do you know how to do that?

Is there some particular program you use to burn CD's, or do you know what program in your computer does that?

I went threw regedit and found the dkcu and everything says (value not set).

I'll try to make it simple. Download the attached zip file, unzip it, and double-click the reg file inside. That should turn on your autorun.
