How can I play something in the CD Rom drive

when I can't access my computer from the desk top ?

 

I think all this technology is a bit much for you

Have you thought about taking up swimming?

 

just ram it in, it'll play itsen

 

It doesn't play itself. So I want to work out how to get to the drive to play it, but nothing works on the desktop
Ironically, the CD is supposedly a magic one that's going to fix the puter

From the Windows desktop, Click on My Computer.
Right-click on the icon for your CDROM drive, then click Properties.
Select the AutoPlay tab, then choose the type of CD (Music, pictures, mixed data, etc.)
Select an action to perform, or select Take no action

for Windows 95/98/ME
From the Windows desktop, right-click on My Computer.
Click on Properties
Select the Device Manager tab.
Click on the "+" next to CDROM
Select the entry for your CDROM drive.

The change will be effective after you restart Windows.
