527333 2007-02-23 01:33:00 Hi everyone - I have a very stupid, and possibly simple question. I am not overly computer minded - so bear with me! I thought that this could be the best place to ask for help!

You know when you put a CD into your PC (say an audio CD or software CD) it should automatically play, or show up right? Well, mine doesn't and I was wondering whether or not I can change a setting so that autorun can be enabled??

Does that make sense??

I would really appreciate any help with this one!

Thanks

I did this with a friend's WinXP-Pro pc and music CDs will still not play automatically. Is there another way to enable this?
