I have a desktop running XP in which the AutoPlay feature does not work. Example: I load a commercial CD with normal audio (music) tracks. I set AutoPlay to Music files, Actions = Select an action to perform, Play using WMP. My computer CD Drive(J) changes to Audio CD but nothing shows up on screen such as an announcement of some loading activity or the Windows Media Player yet the tracks show up when I open WMP and check the RIP page. None of the other actions appear to be active when I load other drives and select actions to perform. Can anyone tell me what I messed up?

When you turn AutoPlay on, you can choose what should happen when you insert different types of digital media into your computer. For example, you can choose which digital media player is used to play CDs. When AutoPlay is turned off, you are prompted to choose what you want to do when you insert digital media into your computer.
Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.
Do one of the following:
To turn AutoPlay on, select the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
To turn AutoPlay off, clear the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
Click Save.
