My CD-ROM doesn't Auto-play the installation files, except music and movies. ASAP URGENT?

Question

Hello I have a CD-ROM, and it doesn't auto play installation CD, except it auto plays DVD and music CD.
There is a icon and program DVD-ROM on my computer.
Is their a missing DLL or program, I didn't do anything, it just doesn't work.

Thank you.
P.s I cant use System restore, it was the past.

PP.S, can I download a Windows Recovery on Bit torrent and drag the program on my CD.

Answer 2

It isn't auto playing an Installation CD as a matter of security. Like the others have posted, you can go to Computer and double-click on drive to start.

Answer 3

Wait, wait, dont install anything or do any system restores. You are saying that it doesnt auto-play some files, so to fix this:

go to start/control panel/auto play options. And choose the options that suit you.

Even if it doesnt auto-play, you can just go to my computer, and double click on the dvd icon, and do it manually.

Answer 4

CD are for burring and reading files and music as well as photos. For movies or Digital Video you need a DVD to see a video file. Also if it is only a CD player it will only see cd's you need a duel reader combo....dvd and cd reader.

Answer 5

autoplay is usually a file on the CD/DVD disc? Or you can go to control panel and d/click on drive or reinstall the drives from the disc that came with th drive? Also go into BIOS and check your boot sequence that may help?

Answer 6

are you inserting something into the computer besides a dvd or cd? With my computer if it's anything other than that I have to go to the start menu, click on "computer" and it's usually there!

Hope it helps,
