i am just about at the end of my rope with my comp. my os is win 7 32bit home premium. my problem started a few days ago and I really don't know why. I am baffled. autoplay in win 7 will not work with my cd-rw/dvd rom which is a Toshiba sd-r2312. I have been burning cd's and until 3 days ago when I try to put a cd in my rom I cannot view any contents of any cd whether it was made or store bought. when I put in a memory stick I get autoplay no problem but when I put a cd in my rom it goes straight to playing in wmp. try to open a cd to look inside of it nothing all the info I get is track 1 and aside from the number I get 1kb. that's it. now heres what I have tried so far.(DRIVERS AND CD ROM CHECK OUT OK ALL UPDATED DRIVERS)
I thought maybe reinstall windows cuz something messed up somewhere. ok did that still same problem. tried a different cd-rw/dvd rom. still same problem. autoplay will not work. went so far as to dump windows 7 and put windows xp pro on my machine. guess what still even in xp autoplay will not work and cannot view cd's contents. so put win 7 back on my machine all updated to the last update and driver still put a cd in and it goes straight to play and no autoplay option. check registry entries and no foul play there either all is good. I really don't know what to do anymore I cannot stand windows anymore I wish there was another company with better os. to me I would imagine this has got to be a windows OS problem because its not a cd rom device problem. so if anyone can help please let me know.
oh by the way yes I have enough memory also a new hard drive so that is not my problem I think
thankyou, ckch03
