re: It's a software problem ! Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 11:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Todd E. Bryant (2 messages posted) I just faced the same problem, and the problem did turn out to be software in my case, even though I originally bet it was registry settings. I spent two days reinstalling from scratch, and hit the same CDROM autorun problem after upgrading my Olympus DSS voice recorder software to "Version 6" from "Version 2002" from the official Olympus support site. In my case (probably not common - doubt too many folks have voice recorders), I suspect the new "Device Detector" component that looks for plugged in USB voice recorders/drives was screwing something up. So, if you are having CDROM autoplay/autorun problems, I'd definitely do all the AutoFix.exe and registry checks described in these threads, and look skeptically on CD burning software, but also look for "new media" storage devices like portable media players and voice recorders. I would have never found this without reinstalling software step-by-step, but that's a painfully brute force path of diagnosis, I know...
