Dumb advice, but double-check if your cd drive is properly connected

Can be the result of moving/changing some other application which uses the CD drive.

In any case, Download and run CDGONE. This often (not always) solves the problem. post back to let us know

this is happening for both drives so I know it's not a drive issue,but after running that program the icons show up but they still wont autorun

oh. you should have indicated that before!

All you need do now (if XP) is run tweakui then setup the autorun settings

I must be doing something wrong,I can only right click and go to properties,if I try to open it up regularly it just asks me do I want to run it and I click run and it just goes back to its original state

You should have downloaded and installed tweakui.

When you run it (double left click on it) it should run and you see the image i posted.

you can also see here about installing again if need be

Wow! ...a man of few words You don't have to quote every reply. It is better if you just reserve quoting for posts separated by 2 or 3 replies

What are your complete system specs and what antivirus/antispyware programs are you using?

 

[macklessdaddy]

Sorry about that but I suck at typing so I keep it short.

Running a 4 year old emachines
2800 athalon with 2 gigs of pc2700
and a 9600xt

Kaspersky
Ccleaner

I also quote people so i can remember their reply lawl

anything else you need ,let me know.

 

[Tmagic650]

Alright macklessdaddy, thanks for not quoting this time. The post appear right next to each other so there is no need to quote every reply. Old eMachines huh... This could be caused by a failing or weak power supply. Can you swap out the power supply?

 

[macklessdaddy]

Funny you say that as the power supply seems to be acting up lately but how and why would that have any effect on the autorunning of the drives.

 

[macklessdaddy]

I personally think something is missing from the registry.

 

[Tmagic650]

Try replacing the power supply first... The auto detect problem is just a symtom of impending danger or catastrophic failure of the computer. This is an eMachines afterall
