Laptop won't run cd's or dvd's please help

A freind has an acer laptop running windows vista and recently bought a printer when she tried to run the printer software cd it wouldn't load into the laptop (sorted that by downloading relavent software from HP website) the problem is i cant get it to load up software,games,cd's and dvd's. on windows XP I would go to my computer double click the relevant drive and the cd,dvd etc would run but with vista I cant find them. plus if anyone knows how to set the auto run on vista that would help too.

Thanks.
