Taken directly from MSNBC

May 30 — Toshiba says their Satellite 1905-S277 laptops running Windows XP may have problems with two particular CD-ROM drives, the Toshiba DVD/CD-RW SD-R2102 and Toshiba CD-RW SR-C8002 , failing to auto-run. Toshiba says that as a workaround, eject the CD, wait about ten seconds and then try again. In their words “The autorun feature will start 4 out of 5 times.” Also, if Norton Auto Protect is enabled, it will prevent the autostarts. Clicking on the Norton icon in the Systray will bring up the settings where this can be configured off.
