i want to be able to put in a cd or game to install and have it start automatically or start when i double click the cd drive. all it will do now is explore the contents when i click the cd drive forcing me to look for the .exe to get things going. ive tried the instructions here but none seem to work.

Have you already tried changing the Auto Play Options?

yes, over and over. i just popped in a red book music cd and the os popped up the option to play with wmp or another app so looks like the cd's work but non of my games i installed nor did norton 2011 did anything. i had to click my computer, d: drive and instead of executing the autorun it would open the disk. i would then have to click on setup in order to run.

What games fail to auto run?

Is it particular ones, or all you have tried?
Originals or copys?

FEAR does work on Win7 x64, I have it :)

You may need to navigate to the Setup.exe and in properties change it to:
"Always run as Admin", and Compatability mode "Windows Vista" ---posssibly XP.
Then try to install.


Some older games will need to have the same thing done to the Autorun or the Setup.exe itself.

This is likely all that is wrong.

You may even be able to right click the CD/DVD drive and choose run admin
