Once you have put the CD in have you tried going into My Computer and then clicking on the Drive (Probably D:\)

Does that do anything?

If you want CD's to play automatically when you insert them into the drive:

1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the AutoPlay tab.
4. Select each item from the pulldown list and for the Action to perform, select "Take no action" to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action to take if enabling autorun.
5. Select OK.

If you have no Autoplay option in Properties post back and I can give you more instructions.

Also, say if you use Vista or XP
