In additon to other problems with post "Windows "'Repair Install"', this problem was in effect even before I did the Repair Install, and thought that it would be corrected, however that was not the case.  When I insert CD or DVD in drive, I was no longer getting an auto-run, in other words, it no longer gave me the choice of which programs to use to open the disk.
