CD-Rom Auto Play

Ronenn
How do you enable it?I know sounds dumb. Normally you would go to Device Manager and select the CDROM you want to adjust. Select Properties and then choose the Autoplay Tab. Well that Tab is unavailable on my system now for some reason.

ahearnb
Hi, In my device manager, I have this yellow question mark (meaning it is not installed correctly) in the other devices category. The branch under it that supposedly has the problem is USB Host to Host Bridge.

The pricing of personal routers.....

Atreyu
Anybody else notice that depending on the web site you look at, home routers/firewalls can fluxuate as much as $250 for the exact same model? For example, the D-Link DI-704 is sometimes listed as $329.

viperxjs
I have recently done a clean install of Windows XP from a reformatted hard drive. All the drivers for my hardware were succesfully installed, and everything seemed to be working great until, BAM! The computer restarts itself.

What is this infinite loop crap?

ahearnb
I had made a reference to this in another thread, but this is really starting to make me mad. I get a checkerboard BSOD telling me that I have an infinite loop problem, etc. Why does this happen? Is it an XP problem? Other people have this problem, evidently, because I've heard it mentioned.

CD-RW on HPT 370 IDE Controller

Corinthian
The maual for my Abit BX133-RAID states that HPT 370 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed mass storage. Thus we don't suggest you connect non-disk devices that use the ATA/ATAPI interfaces, such as CD-ROM to HPT 370 IDE connector.
