kritikal 0 Posted April 27, 2000 Originally when i installed Win2k Pro (clean install), every time i popped an audio cd into either of my cdrom drives, Windows Cd Player would automatically open and begin playing the cd. Recently, this feature has stopped working. The auto-run feature is still enabled, but everytime i load an audio cd, i get the following message: Desktop: Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied. I am running the machine as an admin, and have only changed sharing permissions on a seperate drive to allow network access. How can i restore Windows Cd Player to run whenever i place an audio cd into my cd rom drives? ------------------ "Contrary to popular belief, there are many forms of ignorance, not all of which are bliss."

Go into Control Panel, ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, Add/Remove Windows Components, Accessories and Utilities,Multimedia. 5. You should see CDplayer. Deselect it a and press OK,OK...until your out of all of the boxes. 6. Restart system 7. Go back into ADD/Remove and add CDplayer back. Share this post Link to post
