When I put a CD or DVD (video, game, music, anything!) it does not automatically detect and open it. For example, if I put a movie in, I have to go into PowerDVD and hit play before my computer will even detect the disk. I am trying to install new software, but when I go to My Computer my DVD-Rom drive nor my DVD-RW drive says anything is in it. If I click on the drive that the disk is in it shows no files. Did I possible turn off autostart or something if thats even possible? The DVDRW is a Pioneer and relatively new the DVD-Rom is LiteOn I think. Please help! I want to play a game and its not detecting it!
It is NOT the connection bc wouldn't that mean that it wouldn't work at all? It works, but for a movie for instance, I have to open Power DVD and hit Play before my computer will recognize it. The same goes for music. Now I want to play a game and I don;t have a way to do it. Autostart is enabled, but it still isnt acknowledging that there is a disc in the drive.

I can get tot he disk by going to Start > Search >Select the drive and then hit search but its an annoying and long process and I have to guess at the installation or files on the disk to open.

wow, i've had the same problems. I had to restore the computer
cause it was missing the driver. From the restore cd. But i very
much dont suggest doing this. Search for the driver cause its
not going to work without that driver. hmm its hard to find these
things. Just get a better one. Memorex CD-RW-DVD-R 12x
that comes with the cd driver incase of this problem,

Have you checked out the Device Driver:
cl Start
cl Settings
cl Control Panel
cl System
cl Hardware
cl Device Manager
R-cl on the item to be checked. Click Properties.
That will tell you if the item is working properly.
To update the driver:
Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Driver
click the icon for the item you want
click the “update driver” button on the toolbar.
To set autorun:
Change in "settings"
