Sorry no , only options tab > sub folder > nothing to do with advanced options etc.
Cant tell you how much i appreciate this assistance ,it has me stumped . Drivers for D drive are fine .
Funny though i even went as far as to do a repair install of windows , but got stopped as the oem disk i have was rejected as being a diff version to what is currently installed ( go figure ) Never used any other install ????? Also had to uninstall ATI catalyst program and drivers.
My apologies life intervened, my neighbor needed a hand.
Then the next thing to do is run that Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
Start with Step One and try the drive as stated after #6.6. After the computer finishes restarting, determine whether the problem is resolved.
- Start the affected game or program to determine whether the problem is resolved.
- If the problem does not occur after you restart, the interference is occurring because of a background program or service. In this case, go to the Determine what is causing the problem section (STEP TWO) below.
- If the problem returns after you perform a clean startup, the interference is not occurring because of a background program or service. In this case, this tutorial cannot resolve your problem. Go to the How to return Windows to Normal startup mode section (STEP THREE) below to return your computer to the original startup mode. Then, go to the "Related Links" section at the bottom for other tutorials that may help you resolve this problem.
Anak found this article written by SamLogic - Software for Autoplay / Autorun CD Menu & Setup / Installation & Newsletter / E-mail Marketing etc. Very interesting read. Opinion?????
How to Enable / Disable Autorun for a Drive (using Registry) (SamLogic CD-Menu Creator - Article)
I read the thread, and sadly am stillas to the actual problem.
DATA cds all work fine?
Music CDs do not play actual music, you just see them as .CDA files instead?
What program is associated with playing them at this time?
I never use WMP for anything, so I would try another program, just to see, in case you are mad about (madly in love with) WMP, or just didn't know you had options. muhahaha! [had to work that in sorry].
Can try SFC /scannow and verify Windows 7's critical files are in order also.
I would go back to them and ask for the proper OS disk.
Okay, now we know that can be ruled out.
It's worth a shot, go for it.The values are the same as mine.
Are you familiar with editing the registry, changing values?
Normally when the user inserts a disk into the optical player whether it be data, audio, video or an installation disk, a Autorun/Autoplay dialog box will appear and ask the user what he or she would like done with the inserted disk, and how autorun should proceed after that choice is made.I read the thread, and sadly am still

Oldhead's new optical drive works and he can see Folders, Files, audio and video tracks, but unfortunately the autorun dialog doesn't appear and he has to use other workarounds to get into what ever disk he has inserted at that moment.
We haven't touched on it, but I suspect it has something to do with the new optical drive's installation.
I'm not sure program association is the problem at the moment, It is a good question, and it should be looked into.
A chkdsk, and a sfc scan would be good to run after all this.
Wmp works fine for my current needs, and no its not the media player,
this is the 2nd CD-dvd rom that wont work as normal.
Have already done chkdsk & sfc scan and all presented as fine.
Going to bite the bullet Anak , will do full bk up of registry and modify value (hexidecimal) as per article and also the reference to your same posted . They both seem to pinpoint a possible reason.
A few pointers as to correct proceedure woudnt hurt , never dealt that deep before.and will advise outcome for reference to other users. Cheers.
Important!
Before you do this; Make a backup of your registry also make a System Restore Point - Create
Use this tutorial as a guide: Using the Registry Editor in Windows 7
Read through it to accustom yourself to the procedures, but we will only be dealing with the part down to figure 2.
You should see regedit.exe at the top listed under Programs (1). You can either click on Open or Run as Administrator, the choice is yours.You can easily access the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Start Menu’s Search box.
The User Account Control asks you to authorize access by clicking Continue. The Registry Editor appears with an expanded menu of the five registry key sections:
In your case: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerYou can expand one of the sections and drill down to the desired registry key.
In the edit string window that does appear you should see:After you find the specific registry key to alter, you can both double-click the key name or right-click the key name and select Modify. An Edit String window appears that allows you to modify the existing string value.
- Value Name: NoDriveTypeAutoRun and,
- "dd" highlighted in the Value Data.
- Leave the Base, Hexadecimal selected as is.
- Type 91, you will see the "dd" change to 91.
- Click on OK and you will see the Data Value in the right pane change from 0x000000dd (221) to 0x00000091 (145).
- Close the registry editor.
Some users mention that at this point you should restart your machine, I would.
Test to see if the autorun function for the optical drive is working.
