Windows XP forum: CD auto play does not work

Hi glb613

Thanx for your guidance but your method did not solve the problem.
There is another reply which helped me solve the problem courtesey : Cursorcowboy.

Thanx

1. The fuctions available for "AutoPlay" (Click to see an example screenshot) when inserting a CD or DVD are pictures, music files, video, and mixed content which can be set for automatically, display a prompt to choose an action, or to take no action at all when a specific file type is encountered . If the options appear correctly set, see if running the Microsoft "Autoplay Repair Wizard AutoFix.Exe" will fix the problem.

2. Suggested reading, "Using and Configuring AutoPlay."

Yes, the only 100% working solution is Autofix tool! - New!

well, i tried almost ALL the methods i could find on any forum but nothing worked.
finally, i came across "Microsoft Autoplay Repair Wizard" which automatically changes registry settings, that gpedit stuff and whatever to make Autoplay work again.
so, if the Autoplay feature has suddenly stopped working for your cd/dvd drives, pen drives etc., look no further than this free tool. believe me, nothing worked but this tool.
so here are the download links:-
