This appears to be a multiple problem issue. Until recently, when i inserted a CD, it would auto run and start the video, audio or program disk or open the screen asking what i wanted to do. (view files, play media files etc.) Also, when i plugged in a usb device, it would automatically recognize it such as my digital camera, travel drive or "DAZZLE" video capture device. Now, It will not automatically recognize any device or disk. The only way to open files from any device after connecting them is to open windows explorer and select the device. Am i looking at an OS re-install or would anyone have an idea of what got turned off or screwed up? This started after suffering from a virus a few weeks ago. A friend cleared the virus and i noticed the detection problem later. I have XP Pro.
