CD and DVD Software
Using CDs and DVDs
Most of this section provides instructions for using optical drive
software. Before using any optical drive software, Compaq
recommends that you read the following general information
about using CDs and DVDs.
Avoiding Standby and Hibernation
ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible video and audio degradation and
loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby
or Hibernation while using drive media.
If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated while a drive
medium is in use:
1. Briefly press the power button to exit Standby or Hibernation.
2. Restart the notebook.
3. For more information about Standby and Hibernation, refer in
this guide to the “Power” section.
Displaying Media Contents
Autorun, sometimes called autoplay or auto insert notification, is
a feature of the operating system. Autorun displays the contents
of a drive medium on the screen whenever you insert the medium
into a drive and, if you are using an optical drive, close the tray.
1–2 Software Guide
CD and DVD Software
A drive medium is any storage device that can be inserted into a
drive; for example, a diskette, disk, CD, or DVD.
Autorun is enabled at the factory, but can be disabled.
Setting Autorun Preferences
Autorun is enabled or disabled through the operating system:
■In Windows 2000 Professional:
1. Double-click the My Computer icon on the Desktop.
2. Select the Tools menu > Folder Options > File Types tab.
3. Scroll through the list of items in the Registered File
Types list, then select a file type; for example, Audio CD.
4. Select the Advanced button.
◆If Play is displayed in boldface type, (Play), autorun
is enabled on the drive. If Play is displayed in
plain type, (Play), autorun is disabled.
◆To change the autorun setting, select Play (or Play),
then select the Set Default button.
5. Select the OK button.
■In Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional,
double-click the My Computer icon on the Desktop,
right-click a drive, select Properties > AutoPlay tab, then
follow the instructions on the screen.
Cancelling Autorun on an Audio CD
To prevent an audio CD from opening when autorun is enabled,
press the shift key as you insert the CD.
CD and DVD Software
Software Guide 1–3
Displaying the Contents of a Medium

displayed when you insert it, you can display the contents
manually:
1. Select Start > Run, then type:
explorer x:
(where X = the drive designation of the drive containing
the medium).

every drive in the system, double-click the My Computer icon on
the desktop.
