My computer doesn't auto run DVDs or computer disks anymore. Two days ago everything was fine. I've run a few scans and repaired the registry but there is still a problem.
Any idea what it could be?

Softwares or anything that touches your Registry is one major problems. Do not touch or run any programs.
That's one of the problems caused.
You can restore your windows to the date you think it was working right.
Do not run Registry fix etc.... ever again
Good luck

You say it was running fine 2 days ago. So just do a system restore to that date or earlier. You have to pick a date in bold.
Now get the prgrams below. I have never had a problem with any of them.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

I don't think That it doesn't have to do with a virus. I got a solution and i will tell you in steps.
01.Empty your DVD rom
02.Select right mouse button in your DVD drive icon in my computer.
03.Select properties.
04.In coming up window select "autoplay" and just prompt which task you want to perform when you inserted a DVD or CD.

Go into Control Panel and delete the CD/DVD Rom drive... restart computer and let Windows reload the DVD/CD drivers. To delete it go to Systems/Device Manager.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
