Hi,

How to Troubleshoot Issues with Reading CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD Discs
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321641

Also try as follows:

Right-click the CD drive letter, choose PROPERTIES, then the AUTO PLAY tab, select Music CD in the box, and click on PLAY.

If no go...

Enable auto-run, from Microsoft
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Click Start, click Run, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then press Enter.

2. In Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, expand the System key, expand the CurrentControlSet key, expand the Services key, and click the CDRom key.

3. In the right pane, to enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1 by right clicking the Autorun entry, clicking Modify and typing 1 in the Value data box.

4. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, expand the Software key, expand the Microsoft key, expand the Windows NT key, expand the CurrentVersion key, and click the Winlogon key.

5. In the right pane, right click the allocatecdroms entry, click Modify, type 0 in the Value data box, and click OK.

6. Close the registry editor, and restart the computer.

If the problem still occurs, check the following registry keys. They also can affect the Autorun function.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x00000095

-and-

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x00000095

The correct value for each is 0x00000095. If the value is set as another incorrect data, please modify it.
