Missing dialog to burn CDR
This used to work fine but now does not. When I insert a CDR or DVD, no
dialog pops up offering to fromat the CDR. If I try to read the CDR, it tells me it has to be formatted first. How do I get the dialog back or manually start the dialog? Bill |

Missing dialog to burn CDR
No, there is no FORMAT choice. There is a Open in Autoplay but clicking on
it does nothing. I would rteally like to know how to reinstate the autoplay Bill "PvdG42" wrote in message ... "!kalboBill" wrote in message ... This used to work fine but now does not.

Missing Autoplay with CD's and DVD's
I posted this 2 weeks ago and still have no solution. I'm running Vista Home
Premium with latest updates installed. "!kalboBill" wrote in message ... This used to work fine but now does not. When I insert a CD or DVD, no dialog pops up. If I try to read the CD, everthing is fine. If I right click on it, I can run autoplay and everthing is fine. If I put a black CDR or DVD, I get no Autoplay and if I try to access the blank disk, tells me it has to be formatted first. Right clicking shows no format choice. If I choose Autoplay, nothing happens. How do I get the Automatic dialog back? Bill |

However, I do recall some kind of malware attack that was using AutoPlay to attack the machine. So I went and manually disabled AutoPlay upon getting that information. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/ |
