Title: CD Rom won't start
Post by: domino26 on December 15, 2005, 04:22:56 PM

Hi,

I've got a problem with the autostrat option of my cd-rom. After I installed avast! it doesn't want to open automatically when I insert any cd. What's the case? I know that avast! is responsible because when I uninstalled it everything went ok. Now, when I installed it again, the proplem came back.

Is there a way to bring the autoplay function back?

Yours

avast doesn't have any blocking function and shouldn't have any effect on your CD Rom other than to scan content.

Have you had any other AV on your system prior avast?
What is you OS?

I also use Sygate Personal Firewall Pro. System Windows XP. No other antiviruses. Is it possible in anyway to bring the autoplay feature back?

Try this (Win XP, Help, search on autoplay):
