However, if I take the disc out and put a new one in, it is ignored by autoplay and windows explorer still shows the original disc. Refresh doesn't. I close and reopen explorer but to no avail. The only way I can get the machine to recognise the new disc is to restart the pc. This is beginning to become extemely annoying. Anyone got any ideas?	andy (473)

557216	2007-06-08 23:07:00	I had this issue on my XP work machine and it was due to a registry problem. Try running the Microsoft Autoplay Repair Wizard (www.microsoft.com) and see if this resolves it. [edit: oops, just realised you are using Vista and not XP so I suspect this will not work. However jonboy might like to try it ... ]	Jen (38)

557218	2007-12-25 02:13:00	SAME problem with XP and VISTA... Think it is some sort of a buffer issue. The explorers think that the previous DVD is still in the drive no matter how many times you try CTRL+R, Shift F5 or any other combinations of keys. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE every time you want to swap a disk is probably an overkill... But I am having to do it on my XP PRO with SP2. ---=== < TONY H > ===--- (am using Peter H's account, so ignore the bad spelling)	Peter H (220)
