CDRom/CDRW problems

[Sparkie]

I've just noticed this suddenly happening on my computer (Windows 2000).

Anytime I put a CD into the CDrom or CDRW drive, and then replace it with another CD, the computer doesn't recognize that I put the new CD in, on either drive. It still says that the old CD is in there and that the drive was altered or there is an incorrect function..blah blah. But I have to reboot every time I change a CD so that the computer will recognize the new one!

What can I do to fix this? I have no idea if I have autorun enabled, or if that would help..I'm getting really tired of rebooting, so any suggestions would be very appreciated.

that used to happen to me on Win98 for some reason, what I used to do was just right click on the cd rom drive and select OPEN, thats used to work, but in Win2k I dont know if it will work ?

That happened on my dad's laptop... I just pressed 'F5' (refresh) when i was in 'my computer' and it came up... but it is a pain

You can always try and find a program called tweakui for 2000. It allows a lot of custom settings in win2000.

If you get it (sorry don't remember where) go to the paranoid section. At the bottom it should have two options

Play audio cds automatically
play data cd's automatically

Tweak ui lets you control everything to the fade speed of your menus to What options are in your 'new' menu.

Give it a shot.

There is an option in the right click menu which is remount.. does that work?
