HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

Change to value of 'Autorun', or create a new DWORD value if it doesn't exist: (0=disable, 1=enable)

If your PC thinks you have a different brand of CD drive than you really have, I would expect problems.

Sorry but can't figure out a meaning for "R.H.S noted autorun" or "autorun always disable folder".

First thing I would try is to get the latest drivers for the device then remove it (from safe mode) and see how a reinstall works using the new drivers.

Also - is your CD on the list of hardware XP likes?

Thanks for the clarifications.

At this point, I think an email to tech support for the device would be in order. They may have done something strange.
