Auto Play and Auto Run

HELP! How do i get my games to auto play and auto run in win Vista? Any other
installation disk will auto run, but not games? I even installed 4 virtual
drives from Farstone Pro. It has an auto play and auto run feature in it. But
it doesn't work either?? Somebody please help!

ZOMG, open the "Computer" link and double click on the CD-ROM drive icon,
that should trigger auto-run. It's possible you set Vista to ignore
auto-run/play on certain discs or something. There's an icon called AutoPlay
in your control panel, check that out.

Re: Auto Play and Auto Run

Thanks for trying Andy, but i've already tried that. The only way i can open
them is rt clk & explore. I was told the only way to solve the problem is to
reinstall win. Since it was Vista HP upgrade, i had to reinstall XP. the
funny thing is, that it now doesn't work w/Win XP either? Go figure. I've got
a feeling that it may be a driver, but which one? I put this computer
together myself. It has an Intel MB, core 2 duo cpu and 2- 320 G harddrives.
Anybody Hazard a guess?
