Hi Graham, Have you tried this:- Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom. Double-click the Autorun value, and type 1 for its value. (If it's not there, create it by selecting Edit -> New -> DWORD Value, and typing "Autorun" for its name.) You may have to log out and then log back in for this change to take effect. Regards...

I tried uninstalling the device (a DVD-ROM) but it comes back with the same settings. -- GT On Wednesday 07 July 2004 11:51, Lloyd Atkins wrote: > Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. > Double-click the System icon. > Click the Device Manager tab. > Double-click the plus sign (+) next to CDROM, and then double-click the > CD-ROM driver entry.
