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....
