BroChaos Veteran Posted January 29, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2002 sigh, on my last install of XP, i had nero, clonecd, easy cd creator, fireburner, and cdr-win all running flawlessly together. when i inserted a cd, my cursor would show a little cd image next to it, and my drive would automatically update the icon and name of the disc. now i've reformatted, and with nero installed, my drives won't detect when i insert/remove any cd's. after trying a bunch of things, i just decided to uninstall it. after uninstalling and reinstalling my cd/dvd drives, i got it to update just the name of the cd, but i have to press f5 for it to happen. also, my cursor doesn't change anymore when i'm inserting a drive. this is ok i guess, but just knowing that it used to work fine bothers me. i didn't change anything, i didn't do anything different, why on earth would it behave differently? :right: :ponder: :( apparently a lot of people have this problem, i wonder why ahead/ms can't get this figured out. oh well. cheers, joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymerguy Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Had a similar problem, and though I can't see how it happened, autorun became disabled somehow (even though it was checked as being enabled in TweakUI XP) The way I fixed it was to run regedit, navigate to hklm/system/currentcontrolset/services/cdrom Make sure the Autorun key has a value of 1 instead of 0 Hope this helps.

BroChaos Veteran Posted January 29, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2002 oh my fking god! dude, i just wanna thank you so much. i don't know how to, i owe you dinner or something. :p unreal, you don't understand how much i've been looking for a solution to this. hours and hours of reading and research. and i'm far from a newbie too. the crazy thing is, there are a lot of people that i found have this problem. everyone is blaming nero or easy cd creator. and i guess they are right, cuz i know it worked fine until i installed one of them, but you don't have to uninstall them like everyone is saying! just change that one freakin number. lol. (i'm not talking about the error code 39 or 19, that's a different issue, just in case anyone was wondering) wow, i'm like so shocked, too good to be true. thanks again man, i really appreciate it. ciao! cheers! yippy! joe :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 5.5.7.2 of nero. i'm suggesting this just because you didn't state the version of NERO you're running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted January 30, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2002 hey staind, that's what i installed. but it might not have been that, it could've been 5.02d of ezcd. i never figured out which one caused the problem, i just know it happened after i installed them. ciao! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
