Thanks for the link phatrabt. This is the same info I've been given before. This was the first thing I tried on my own. But the problem is that my system is not configured like earlier ones. The path is slightly different but when I get to my DVD/CDRW, highlight maker, select properties, there is NO, I repeat NO settings tab, only GENERAL/PROPERTIES/DVD REGION/VOLUMES/DRIVER. There is no settings for AIN under any of these tabs. Also, MachineHead, your suggestion was also an option I explored before seeking help as well. Does anyone know where I can find my SETTINGS for my DVD/CDRW Drive E to re-enable my Auto Insert Notification? They are not where everyone thinks they are. No one has told me anything that I haven't already tried, although your attemps to assist me are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely, McSlick (Michael really)
