Windows xp, no longer auto playing cd rom`s

swizzle_2

When I put a cd rom in the drive, it used to start automatcty, but no longer does this.


I have put a disc in to clean it but this did not solve the problem.

I now have to go into my computer and click on the disk icon to make it run, is this the right way to do it?

Please advise- ps in lay man`s or womens terms as i am not very technical.


Thank you

Thanks for that, I can get as far as the settings tab, but it does not have the `auto insert notification` box, only 1 about audio.

Please advise
