Win XP Sp1 CD ROM and DVD Rom Not Recognizing Newly inserted discs

Windows XP will not recognize newly instered discs that I insert in my
DVD and CD Rom. XP believes that any disc inserted is the same disc
that was in the drive when the machine was last booted up.

The only I can get my drives to recognize new discs is to eject the
discs, then attempt to open the contents of the CDRW and DVD ROM in
Windows Explorer, then insert a new disc.

I tried to update the ASPI drivers and no luck.

There has to be a way to have my CDRW and DVDROMs recognize new discs
in the traditional way of reading new discs on insetion.

My DVD Rom is a Pioneer DVD-116R
and CDRW Rom is CRX160E

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I can't help solving this in XP directly, but it sounds as though you've
managed to turn off Automatic Insert Notification - AIN. Once that's
turned on again, you should find that update is automatic.

Your assignment - whether you wish to take it or not <G> - is to find
AIN on your system of for the particular drive involved and to turn it
back on. (Relevant information for other NT systems is in the primer at
my WWW site. It should help you get started, at least.)

No, its not the built in recording application...

Autoplay is as you described them on a non-windows XP system when the CD
already contains data. I understand what autorun is...

but I could tell that none of the people who replied understand
what I'm talking about.

Yes, AIN is on.

This functionality is only familiar to WindowsXP users.
And no, it does not need data pending.

Since you don't have XP, here's what its supposed to do:
