BOB11 I need help!!! Denny too!!!

I posted in cdrom/dvd but no one replied, more people in here so I thoght I would ask here too.

Here's the situation. My DVD player used to autorun and now it doesn't, not sure when it stopped. It won't autorun dvd's, games, resource cd or Windows ME cd. I called tech support and they had me check auto insert notification which was already checked, they had me remove the drive from device manager and then it re-installed still no go. They had me in the registry,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
and that was normal. We even did a system restore back 3 months but it wouldn't restore. We then decided to run a ZZTOP but that failed as well. The last option was to do a format re-install but the technician wanted a bit of time to research this issue before we resorted to it. Just wondering if any of you bright and wonderful people have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

    You hit on one area where I have absolutely NO experience at all. Never messed with a DVD. Maybe Denny's around or Goonboy or several of the other folks who can answer your question. Sorry partner.......




    Cowboy Wisdom:
    The White House didn't just get a new team, it got a whole new language. President Bush brought with him many friends from Texas, and for anyone not born in the Lone Star State, the Texan accent and the cowboy colloquialisms can seem a bit strange. So here's a guide to a few of the more colorful expressions y'all might encounter over the next few years:

    Hi

    I found the following web page that might explain the whole autorun procedure, including changing the registry. I know you've already gone thru all this but reading this just might throw some light on what your problem is. It's the best I can come up with.

    It is possible that you allowed your sound card player software or real player or something like Music maker to take control over as the default rather than windows media player.

    I read somewhere that using TweakUI can correct this problem. The Autorun boxes are found on the Paranoia Tab. Hope it works.
