CD/DVD doesn't start automatically

[Anikait]

Whenever I insert a CD or DVD into the dvd drive, it doesn't start automatically. I have to go to the My Computer and manually launch from the dvd drive to start a cd or dvd. How can I get a cd or dvd to start automatically in my computer ?

I think you want to use the feature called autoplay and for some reason it has been disabled from your computer.
To enable AutoPlay -

• Go to My Computer
• Right click on DVD drive
• Select Properties
• Click on AutoPlay tab (second tab)
• Select the options available as per your choice.....

Start >> Control panel >> My Computer

Right click on the CD/DVD drive >> Click Properties >> Click on Autoplay tab

Click the radio button - "Select an action to perform" and select the appropriate action, such as "Open to view files," "Play with Windows Media" (or itunes player, etc.).


Now, insert a CD and check whether cd/dvd automatically starts....
