Can't Autorun CD's after Nascar Rev Demo Install

Installed Nascar Revolution demo in my two PC's and now none of my CD's autorun. If I right click on them in explorer, the autoplay option is missing. Anyone run into this??

Well you can go to your CD rom properties and turn it back on. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Installed Nascar Revolution demo in my two PC's and now none of my CD's >autorun. >If I right click on them in explorer, the autoplay option is missing. >Anyone run into this??

Huh. I had installed Nascar Revolution (the game not the demo) and my Autorun still works. Maybe my Dell is engineered better. Ok just joking (inside joke for flightsimmers). You are right about the registry entry. It must be in there somewhere, but so far I have not been able to find it. You may want to check it with TweakUI. Also it might be worth unchecking the autorun box, shutdown and restart, then re-check the autorun box. It may be able to get reset that way. I'll keep checking though. Hey and I even took a registry class a month ago! You can never know it all... -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Doh, I wondered why my autorun stopped working. Same here, it is checked but won't autorun. Damn demo was only on my pc for 5 minutes. Kyle

OK here is is! Try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\SCSI You should find your CDrom defined there. Look for the AutoInsertNotification setting. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >On Sat, 27 Feb 1999 12:15:34 -0600, >>Well you can go to your CD rom properties and turn it back on. >My system did it too, after installing NR.

>Thanks. I just found it on mine in: >NODRIVETYPEAUTORUN in the registry. I have >an IDE CD Rom .. OK I saw that but didn't think it was the right one :-) BTW, W98 and NT consider IDE cdroms to be SCSI devices. In NT you will actually see the driver defined by opening the SCSI icon in the control panel. W98 apparently considers the same as I found my CD rom at the \Enum\SCSI registry entry which I described earlier. I too have an IDE CD rom. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Funny you mention that, when I installed I lost complete use of both of my cd rom drives. Required a formating of the hard drive. >Installed Nascar Revolution demo in my two PC's and now none of my CD's >autorun. >If I right click on them in explorer, the autoplay option is missing. >Anyone run into this??

Exactly how does reformatting you harddrive allow you to use your CDroms again?

You know, it never registered until you brought it up, but I have the same problem! -Larry > Installed Nascar Revolution demo in my two PC's and now none of my CD's > autorun.
