These are entirely different issues. Try this for your Autorun problem first:notasdaftasilook wrote:also when i put discs in to the drive they dont run?? and all my games have gone, solitare,freecell, spider etc.
How To Enable/Disable Autorun (Windows XP)
1. Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows + "e" key.
2. Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the AutoPlay tab.
4. Select each item from the pulldown list and for the Action to perform, select "Take no action" to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action to take if enabling autorun.
5. Select OK.
For the games, try reinstalling them.
Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components. Highlight Accessories and Utilities and select the "Details" button. Place a check/tick in the Games check box and select OK > Next to reinstall them.
