OT (maybe) - CDs will autostart but DVDs will not

Not sure if this is a Win XP Home SP3 problem, or a problem with the CD/DVD
drive itself.

I am only discussing games discs at the moment - as they are the only ones
that have autostart files included in them.

If I insert any games CD in the drive, it will autorun every time.

If I insert any games DVD in the drive, it will never autorun. I have to
manually use the Run command to start it up. This includes both installation
from a disc, or starting off the game once installed.

I know that the autorun feature can be turned off in XP, but as far as I
know it is not selectable between CDs and DVDs. Is there something I have to
do in the OS, or should I be looking into replacing my CD/DVD drive?

TIA

Martin.
