Windows XP Home Ed.
IDE-CD CDRW7352
DVD/CD-ROM
Device Status: Working properly
Had been working fine until last week.
Now it won't auto-run, will recognize some music CD's
but when they finally load they play for a few seconds then stop.
I put in a TaxCut cd and nothing happens.
I have not installed any new hardware.
Any help will be appreciated

okay, I'm not to sure why it would have quit working. I would
recommend getting spybot: search & destroy(free program) and running
it. But really you just need to get a program called TweakUI

It's Microsoft powertoy, and also free. That is if your using Windows.
One of it's options is the ability to set autoplay to activate or
deactivate, for any drive.

The drive is faulty.
