CDs no longer auto-start. Solved

Question

Hello, I'm on XP Home Edition, with a fairly recent computer, and recently, for some reason, when I insert a CD into any drive or a memory card (camera), the automatic window asking if I want to open or read the document no longer appears.
Not knowing how to proceed, I'm turning to a friendly expert who can provide me with a solution.
Thank you in advance, Jean Luc

Hello aria99,
If your problem is indeed about enabling, the method is as follows:
To enable or disable AutoRun,
.... Under Windows XP
Start...Run...type Regedit
Once the registry is open, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
then on your right, right-click on Autorun
edit.. the Edit Dword Value dialog will open
In the value data field, type
1 to enable autorun (that is, to start automatically)
0 to disable it (your CD will not start upon insertion)

Best regards and @+
Who goes slowly goes safely..who goes safely goes farther and higher

Hello,
Please help me, I have the same issue as aria99, autorun is not launching. I followed the advice from hourrah above and autorun is indeed active. I don't understand anything.
Thank you in advance.

When I insert a CD or DVD, it starts playing, but the window that automatically opens to ask me what I want goes EMPTY when I click OK and nothing happens.
Maybe someone has the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Oui, mais est-ce que ça marche quand on installe le CD de Windows XP et quand on redémarre l'ordinateur, ça s'exécute automatiquement ? S'il vous plaît, c'est urgent.

I also have the same problem; when I put in a CD, it doesn't start and the CD icon doesn't appear in the computer. What is the solution? OS Windows Vista 32 bit

I have the same problem for a while now... the CD doesn't launch automatically anymore and the window with all the activities to do when inserting a CD doesn't show up either, and worse, when I insert an audio CD, it's the BS Player software that is used to play it, whereas before it was Media Player. What happened for it to change by itself like that?

CDs no longer auto-start.
