  • who the hell would want to disable this....I NEED TO ENABLE MY FUCKING AUTOPLAY!!!!

  • One of the many ways that viruses propagate is by installing themselves onto things like thumb drives. The conficker virus spread in such a manner. Then when a user puts his/her thumbdrive into a non infected machine that has autoplay enabled, BAM they get a virus. You may also want to keep annoying windows from popping up whenever you put in a CD. I hope this helps.

  • lol sorry for coming out like all mad and that, but I am pretty bad cause, My CD Drive doesnt work anymore, the autoplay is disabled, and when I enable it back it still won't work when I pop any disks in.

    ooh and When I boot it up it sometimes says theres an error, click this to repair and such I click it, nothing happens it flashes and goes back to screen of 2 choices.

    Repair

    Start windows as normally.

    My only choice is start windows as normally, and I cant work CDs or any discs anymore.

  • I'm sorry you are having issues with your CDROM. One way to determine if your CDROM is actually defective or if it's just an operating system problem is to boot from a Linux Live CD. I suggest Ubuntu because it's probably the easiest. If everything works on Ubuntu then you know that it's a settings issue. You'll need to download and burn the Ubuntu cd from a known good computer. What OS are you running? What exactly is the error when you boot and at what part of the boot does it happen?
