21622	2001-10-16 01:29:00	A hard disk crash caused me to reformat and reload windows 98 SE and other software. But autorun does not happen, even though enabled in Device Manager/cdrom/properties/settings. In the registry the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es/CDRom is absent. Software loads OK from start/run/d:\setup.exe etc. Any suggestions?	Guest (0)

However, I did put the system files onto the reformatted disc using a Win 98 startup disc, and then tried loading the programmes it came with (It's a gateway 2150 laptop running at 466MHz)	Guest (0)
21626	2001-10-16 04:29:00	Thanks Iain As I said in my first post, I had already gone into Device manager/double clicked on LG CD-ROM CRN-8241B (the cdrom drive) to get properties/settings and ensured 'auto insert notification' was ticked, and the drive was 'D'. I also looked at support.microsoft.com . The other 2 keys mentioned have HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer NoSriveTypeAutoRun = ff 00 00 00 as does the 'HKEY_USERS\\\'. They said to type in Ox0000095, but it does not allow 'x' to be input over the FF. I am stumped!	Guest (0)
