How do you fix a CD-ROM problem where you get the error message cannot find file q autorun exe

Answer

I would start checking cables, possably replacing the data cable.

The CDROM drive might be dirty.

If you have more than one drive try changing the order on the data cable.

Make sure the jumpers are set properly.

Will another drive read the disk you are using?

I hope these ideas will help.

Answer

Check your ide drivers in your device manager. If you have the Nvidea ide drivers, roll them back to the original windows drivers.
