Autorun.inf Option Wont Work In New Operating System?
Aug 18, 2005
Running XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP 2 I created several CD on our old computer running Win 98SE using autorun.inf file to automatically open an *.html page containing an index of the contains of the CD(s). The autorun.inf on those CDs don't work on any of our XP computers. The CDs are recognized easily by these computers running XP but won't open the autorun.inf files.
Nowww do note autorun CDs that come with programs, that we buy, run with no trouble which means the autorun option is definitely on. I have even copied the autorun.inf files from program/purchased CDs and changed the file to open name to the *.html file on the CDs and still they won't work. Again do note these CDs with autorun.inf that I created easily run on all our Win98 computers.

i had Win xp sp2 on my hard-drive i installed windows 98 on my remove-able disk... after that i formatted my removeable disk now i just have Win xp but when start up it still shows the os choice menu. I just want to know can i delete that option of choosing win98 which doesn't exist. And so i can save 30 sec of booting time in case my pc reboots after an update or so when i am not around.

A friend of my daughters has a packard bell pc (4 years old). After ridding various virus from the machine and coming to a full stop they decided to use the restore disc (red floppy) and restore to factory default - all appeared to be going well. Machine froze after telling them to remove the floppy, when it came back to life it requested master cd1, which they dont have and dont remember ever having (bearing in mind machine is 4 years old). What do you think the best track would be to contact packard bell for master disc. I wondered whether my copy of xp home would work with their pc and their code - afterall they have purchased the machine etc. or am I being totally blonde. I am quite happy to reformat for them if this is a possibility but dont want to attempt it if there is the possibility it wont work. I realised xp is one machine one copy but not sure whether this is reliant on code or not.

Is it possible to install a dell-made operating system on a non dell computer and have that computer be 100% and stable? I'm really not sure anymore. I thought so. I hope so because people are selling Dell operating systems for really cheap because anyone who buys a vista laptop from dell seems to get a windows XP CD too. My other thought is, what if I install a normal windows XP, but then use the Security code from a dell operating system.

daughter has an "emachine" (I know, but it's too late) with XP. Son opened a "cheats" from Google and now they can't open internet explorer at all. Just gives us the "sorry, we'll send error report." They can right click on the "explorer" icon and open by "run as" but they can't download anything, or open new pages (assuming the other pages are stored). They play a game called Ragnarok(sp??) and that may have something to do with it, not sure. Anyway, I've checked internet connections and she is enabled, I've run Winsock and that doesn't help, even loaded Foxfire browser to bypass, but it won't open either, just gives me the same message. We even updated with the XP2, still nothing

I recently reinstalled windows xp and afterward my scrolling started to go slower. It's kind of like a ripple, like it's having a hard time loading something. How do I get it back to normal?

I woke up one day (hadn't installed anything in the meantime) and was unable to drag any icons or folders. My mouse won't "pick up" any of them, on my desktop or within a folder. I can drag program windows around, so I don't think it's an issue with my mouse. I thought maybe a recent Windows Update had messed it up, so I uninstalled the most recent one, but it didn't do anything.

I'm running Windows XP Pro and when booting up i get the option of choosing two operating systems for some reason? Is there a way to get rid of one of them (i know only one works) or to change the 30 secs it gives you to choose which OS to use?

Computer has been acting up for a few days, programs not responding, clicking links to internet web page searchs can't find page but copying and pasting address opens page. Downloaded and installed windows update and restarted computer. Now it continues to restart. Screen comes up with options for starting in safe mode etc., but the "start normally" option is highlighted and the up and down arrows won't work, nor with the function buttons.

I just ran Defrag and got the image as shown above after completion of the defrag. It does not look like anything happened, maybe even worse than before defrag. Any ideas as to how I can get a good defrag on this machine or what is happening here. I have run two malware applications or programs and my antivirus. Nothing there it appears to be clean.

When I put a dvd in the dvd-player for a game or anything, it used to autostart that dvd. But suddenly, it doesn't autostart anymore. I have to start it manually, by clicking the drive and choosing "autorun". It is the same for other drives as well, such as cd-rom drive. How do I fix this?if it's possible, I would like not to install any programs. So are there any configurations or properties I can check?

When I put a CD/DVD in or plug in my digital camera it no longer runs automatically. The dinging sound that is offiliated with plugging in the camera occurs, but nothing pops up. Where do I go to change this setting so that it will pop up with my options as soon as I plug in the camera or put in a CD or DVD?

everytime I try to install something from the CD using autorun I get the following error: Couldn't find library MSVCR80.dll. But if I browse to the CD and click on Setup it installs fine. The dll is in the Windows/system32 folder.

This problem was brought about by just an autorun application for the game, 'The Movies' but seeing as it's a system issue, I thought it'd be better of here. I've tried numerous solutions to the problem and to be honest, I've not got very far - I always seem to be getting an error of some kind and it's preventing the game from installing correctly.

a while back, I decided to turn off autorun to make sure that things like Sony CDs didn't take over my system. A while after that, the icons for CDs, my hard drive, and my flash drives wouldn't work anymore. You know, the "special" icons set with autorun.inf and an .ico file. I used these so I could quickly differentiate among drives, but now they're all the standard WinXP icons. This seemed to have happened a while after I turned off autorun, so that doesn't seem to be what it could be... but logically, it'd make sense.

I use a XP SP3.. n in my removable hdd automatically contain an 'autorun.inf'.it emerge after i connect the hdd to my frens pcs.. n whenever i double-click each partition of the hdd, an autorun file is activated. I looked up in my protected system files n found out that there is suspicious autorun.inf file show up as system files in each partition. but i knew there shouldn't be any info files, despite it is a system file. i think it also kind of virus jus it uses the standard autorun.inf for an info file, so that there is no any antivirus can detect it as a VIRUS.it seems that i couldn't delete it even i(as the administrator) cannot get access to change the attributes in virtual DOS command prompt - n i dunno how to get a real MS-DOS n don say to del/ah/f @ del /a:h /f delete it. access is denied.
