Software Guide 1–1

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

If autorun is disabled and the contents of a medium are not

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).

2. Press enter.

✎A drive designation is a letter of the alphabet that the notebook

uses to identify the drive. To display the drive designation of

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

the desktop.
