CD Rom
In the past, when I would install a CD rom, my computer would automatically recognize the disc, and start the program. Now, for some reason, it does not recognize the disc, and I am forced to go into the programs menu to start the program. I am currently running win 98. Can anyone assist with this problem?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Check out TweakUI from the Win98 CD. It's in tools, reskit, powertoy. Just right-click the inf and select install.
Make sure that Data CD's are set to play on the paranoia tab. The registry can override the auto insert notification and still not play a data CD. TweakUI is the safest way to check, rather than editing the registry.

Please clarify. Autorun option? Please provide step-by-step instructions. Thanks.
Commander,
Click on start, go to settings, and click on control panel.
In the control panel double click on the system icon and then click the device manager tab. Double click on the CD-ROM catagory and a menu will drop down with your cd listed on it. Click on your cd to highlight it and then click the properties button, click the settings tab. You will see acheck box on this page for "autoinsert notification". Put a check in this box.
