AUTO-RUN does not start

Question

auto run of the Windows7 HP does not start.

I had to look for the setup.exe but the cd shows two maps, not an setup.exe. Inside the maps there are to many setup files...

Hi M Mozer,

·         Which program does have many setup files?

·         May I know for which CD are you using to look at the setup files?

Autorun is a technology used to automatically start programs or enhanced content (such as video content on a music CD) when you insert a CD or another media type into your computer. This is different from AutoPlay, but the result is often the same: when inserted, the CD starts automatically by using a particular program. Autorun is incorporated into the media types that use it, and you can't modify it.

This might be an issue if the CD/DVD that you are using is not set up as autoplay when inserted.

You may have to enable the autoplay feature in the computer.

Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.

Do one of the following:

To turn AutoPlay on, select the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.

Click Save.
