When Windows XP AutoPlay Goes Wrong, and How to Fix It

Posted 09/01/2007 at 05:18:39pm

Had similar problems with DVD Videos not autoplaying on my Win XP Laptop - tried the Autofix option but no problems reported. What worked for me was the System File Checker (built into Win XP) i.e. Start then run sfc /scannow This takes about 1/2 an hour on an average XP Machine & asks you for your Windows XP disk on 1st time of running since it builds a cache of Windows System Files & checks them one by one, replacing any corrupt files as needed. After the dialogue disappears it is finished & you need to reboot to effect the changes. I followed by a Repair Install of Nero Essentials ver 7 since the DVD Videos were seen as a DVD-RAM even though SFC fixed the option of DVD Video not being present in Autoplay. Now autoplays DVD Videos & computer "sees" them as it should. Regards Phil Day (pday12@optusnet.com.au)
