Autostart CD Installation

Ed

My wife's Toshiba Satellite 1000-S127 refuses to start an installation when
the CD is put into the D: drive. The CD runs, and then stops. I can start
the installation by manually clicking on setup, but my Dell Inspiron (also
with XP Pro) just starts installation when I put in the new program's CD. I
have checked Start>My Computer>rt clicked D: drive> properties> AutoPlay,
and made sure both laptops have Music, Picture, Video, Mixed, Music and DVD
set to "Prompt me...." My laptop starts installations immediatetly, hers
doesn't. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This utility is worth a try, but there's no guarantee of a cure:

I shall try, and report back. If that doesn't work, I'll try Claymore's fix.
Thank you!
