Playing CDs using Auto-Run

does not automatically start your disk, try launching the CD
manually. To do this, follow these steps:

1

Open the Start menu and select My Computer.

2

Click the CD/DVD drive icon.

The disk drive will run the CD.

If your disk does not run using this method, try using an
application that is associated with the media on the disk. For
example, if it is a music CD, open Windows

®

Media Player and

point it to play the CD. For other types of media, use the
associated software to open the files on the disk.
