AutoPlay Magic 2.3.0 - User Guide and FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - AutoPlay Magic

1. Are cheap CD-R's ok to use?
   Many problems can stem from using cheap CD-R's. Cheap CD-R's are great for backing up data and music but lousy for reliability. The extra 20 cents per CD you spend on buying premium CD-R's is well worth the money. A good quality CD-R like Kodak CD-R Ultima (or any other good quality CD-R) should work flawlessly.
   
   
2. Will AutoPlay Magic work on all versions of Windows?
   Yes. AutoPlay Magic works on all Win32 platforms including Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2K, XP, 2003
   
   
3. How do I know AutoPlay Magic will work for me?
   AutoPlay Magic is the little brother of AutoRun, one of the premier AutoPlay tools on the market. AutoPlay Magic uses the same engine that powers AutoRun.
   
   
4. Everything works fine when I test the CD, but when I burn to CD it doesn't?
   There are three cases that would most likely explain this.
   
   1) You burnt the Project Folder to the CD-ROM. Make sure you only burn the CONTENTS of the Project Folder and not the Project Folder itself.
   
   2) You are using long filenames for your files and a CD-ROM file format that does not support long filenames. Some older (Win95) computer don't recognize filenames longer than the 8,3 notation (8 characters before the '.', 3 after - e.g. 'thisfile.txt'). Also some CD-ROM file formats don't support long filenames. It is always a good idea to use the 8,3 notation to insure a maximum audience for your project.
   
   3) AutoPlay may be disabled on your machine. You will need to enable AutoPlay in order for CD to automatically start.
