After fitting a new Mitsumi cd rom player plus a Mitsumi CDRW CD's will not auto start, dispite having the auto start notification box ticked for each drive. At the moment config. is windows 98 - the main CD drive is a master with a zip drive as slave. on the other port the hard drive is the master with the writer slaved. Any ideas how to remedy this

Hmmm...for starters I'd put the CD-ROM & CD-RW drives on the same IDE channel; and the HDD & ZIP on the primary channel (i.e. HDD=Pri Master; ZIP=Pri Slave; CD-ROM=Sec Master; CD-RW=Sec Slave)<br>
This may even repair your problem in some instances...some systems are just REALLY touchy in that way.<br>
Then go through all of your Windows properties for the CD drives & general properties & make sure that autorun isn't turned off anywhere. <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*nix installation & program collector/reseller.
