are you saying that your cd drive reads the cds fine, but it just wont autoplay. If so you can turn autoplay back on easy, goto regedit
navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
change the value of NoDriveTypeAutoRun to = 95
reboot
cds and dvd should autorun now

no it doesn't work, thank you anyway

Perhaps an update to the firmware and drivers of the cdrom drive? what are your computer specs?

Yes, I would agree with randruff, you should probably update the drivers, either a plane update, or delete the current driver, than re-install a newer one

if i reboot my computer or disable then enable the cd-rom, the cd-rom show up the name of the cd but it don't show up the icon of the cd, and the cd and the cd-rom used to be all right.

For starters, what optical drive do you have?? (make and model). See QUESTIONS 101.
