For some reason a while ago the auto play from my computer stopped. When I say autoplay I mean the menu that pops-up when I insert a cd and asks you if you want to install. Not the windows one where it asks me what I want to do (e.g. Open folder to view files, or play with media player). Can someone help me?

I restored everything to default as if I just installed windows because I know then if I stuck in a game say halo it would autoplay and autorun the installer. But it doesn't still. Do you folks understand yet? I tried all that you have suggested but it doesn't work. I know my way around computers but this has been buggin me for a while.
