My son on his lap top running Windows XP Home tells me he cannot automatically start any CD he inserts in his machine. This is something I understand is easy to correct but I don't know how. Could someone tell me what he has to do to enable his applications to automatically start when he wants to load new programs please. Many thanks Roger When all else fails, read the instructions. ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
