Why doesn't my autorun CD work on their computers?

[Rhino1616]

Good day,

I've created an autorun CD with a software called "Visual Autorun", on my Athlon 1.6 mhz w/Windows XP & it works fine. I tested it on a PIII 900mhz w/Windows XP & it worked perfectly. I then tested it on my sisters PIII 600 mhz w/ Windows 98 & it didnt start up. I had to manually go to "My Computer" & run the file. Would anyone know why this problem would occur, and is there a website or tutorial that would help me with this?


Thank you

You can see if on your sisters computer it is set up to autorun cd's of the type you're wanting to with that.

What is you sisters Os , is it win95 ?if it is thne i think if you don't update is it doesn't ahve an autorun , also cd drivers can be old so they don't sopport autorun (very old :D ) , adn try chnagin the cd rom dirve it might cause the problem as well.

I also started to think that maybe the old HP 8500 burner on the system could be the case.


Thanks for the help everyone
