AutoPlay
Most discs are “AutoPlay enabled”. If the AutoPlay
feature of Windows is enabled, it will automatically start
the installation program (or the first song of a music CD)
when you insert a disc in the drive. For more
information about AutoPlay, refer to the Microsoft
Windows help system.
Some programs have files that are installed on your hard
disk drive and also require a CD or DVD. If the program
is already installed and you insert the disc, the AutoPlay
feature will start the program automatically.
If AutoPlay is disabled, you can install programs with the
Aptiva Installer
.
