If you are using the Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system, disable the
autoplay feature while you use the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. (The autoplay feature can
interfere with the computer’s power management functions.) If Dell installed the operating
system, the autoplay feature has been disabled. If you reinstall the operating system or if you
installed it yourself, be sure to disable the autoplay feature if you want to use the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive.
For instructions on changing the Auto Insert Notification option, see the operating system
user’s guide.
