The only way I have found to resolve the situation is to disable Autorun for both the CD player and data disks through TweakUI, the CD's will then play as they should. Is there any way of resolving this situation or is it just the nature of the beast? Although this isn't a major prob, it is still annoying. Win98se, ATAPI 52 speed CD-ROM drive. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob :>)	Guest (0)
