1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.

2. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

3. To disable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 0 (zero). To enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1.

Easier and safer to use "AutoFix.exe", the Microsoft Autoplay Repair Wizard. I recommend it.

Read the following message. Try the Autofix utility first.

Good Luck,
