Check device mgr - if all are sound devices are working properly - go to start>control panel>admin tools>services - scroll down to Windows audio. Make sure it is set to Automatic and all dependant programs are enabled.\n\nUnder the recovery tab select "restart service" for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures.\n\nWorked for me....

Save it on the desktop n then open it without choosing a program, if it doesn't play then maybe there is something wrong with it!

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

If you know when the windows player worked right the last time try a system restore to that date, if it doesn't work you can always undo the restore.

Your cd drive has failed. Replace it.\n\nBest looking at DVD +- RW's as they are proving more stable than CD writers.

Check for DVD Burner or if it is a Codec go to microsoft, do searches and try installing ones that you may need.

I used to have that happen.  I just gave up on it and started to use something called VLC Media Player.  It is free, just search www.download.com for it.  It can play anything and everything, it is quite possibly THE best media player out there :)\nOR go to Microsoft.com and get support from them directly, who better to answer a question then the manufacturer?

Bung one in the drive and see what happens.\n\nIf it doesn't play automatically, go to My Computer and double click on the CD Drive.

When you say PLAY CD's do you mean they do not rotate. or that you just cannot hear them?\nThe Thinkpad has built in sound, go to control panel and go to the Sounds and Audio Devices, ensure that the CD is not muted, the Volume control is only operative as a Master, and some of the device volume controls may be muted or turned down very low\n\nYou may want to try and right click on a CD in My Computer and EXPLORE, then see if it shows some .CDA tracks, if so double click, if a box comes up asking what to use, then choose Windows Media Player and make sure the check box ofr Allways Use is checked too.\n\nThen right click on the CD drive and go to Properties, go to the AUTOPLAY tab and ensure that that is set up ok

Are you connected to the internet?\n\nIf yes, try to start Internet Explorer up and turn there the Working Offline mode off.\n\nIf no, connect to the internet :)\n\nIf non of this works, something is wrong with your Windows Media Player, you could try installing it again. You can also get information about CDs by doing a Google search...

Are you running XP?\n\nWhen you put a disk in it should display a pop-up of options. Choose 'Play CD' and check the box at the bottom for 'Always do this'.\n\n///

You need to install either Real Player or Windows media player on your PC

I'm going to assume you have installed the drivers for your card reader.  When you plug any kind of storage device into your computer.  You should automatically get a window that pops up that asked you how you wish to open the files.  If this window does not open up, your auto it program has ceased to function.  Below is a link to a program that can fix this for you.
