i have a new laptop that i have had for a few weeks now but for some reason the autoplay feature for the cds will not work. everytime i insert a cd or dvd it is not played automatically and if i go to my computer and double click the cd-rom icon it just comes up with format new disk which basically means it's saying the disc is blank. i have tried so many different cds and disks and the only way i can get the cd to work is to actually go into a program like vlc and run the disc from the file menu of that program.
i tried going into the autoplay feature to change what happens when cd is inserted but nothing seems to work even if i set a play cd when disk is inserted.

anyone have any ideas on how i can solve this. my computer has windows vista home edition installed.
