Problem is 2 fold:

1. no cd/dvd's autoplay

2. no cd/dvd's show the volume title in explorer

Not just an autoplay issue this one. I've installed tweakui and checked autoplay is enabled, which it is but still can't get cd's to autoplay and explorer doesn't show the volume title.

Running XP SP2 on an Abit AV8 mobo.

This is the same problem I'm having with my no autoplay issue as well.

I have noticed the same within tweak UI that autoplay is enabled, but if I use Nero info tool, it shows that autoplay is disabled.

????So how do we turn it back on????

What services have you removed? I think I remember one that controls just this.

Try this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"AutoRun"=dword:0000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"allocatecdroms"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

It worked for me-Woo Hoo...

Also wonder if it could be to do with my Norton Sys Works 2005 settings, there is a tweak program in that. One of the options I turned on was restrict CD to local logged on users, will try turning that off and see if it works.

Cheers though for that, I'll give that a go later on and let you know.

EDIT: The problem was indeed the setting in Norton System Works, in the System Optimizer (norton's version of tweakui) you can check restrict access to cdrom to local logged on user, uncheck it and all works fine again.
