I can't get my DVD Rom to auto play CD or DVD discs, but
can call them up in the drive under My Computer fine. My
DVD Writer drive can auto play fine. Running XP with all
updates from both Microsoft and the drive manufacturer
(Samsung). Also have insured that auto play is selected
in the drive properties. Samsung has told me that this
must be in the registry or a Microsoft problem. I have
set the Autorun value of "1" in my registry. Can't see
another way to resolve. Not a big deal, just an
annoyance every time I want to run a disc since my writer
is very slow and this drive is ripping fast. Thank you
to anyone who can help.

Hi Jay,

There is a utility here that will reset the autorun defaults for you, it
should correct the problem:
