Okay, when I had Win98, I could drop a CD into the drive and MusicMatch would start automatically and play the CD. Now, with Win2k, I drop a CD into the drive and get a dialogue box (with "Desktop" as the heading at the top left of the box) that says "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied." I can click 'okay'. I have to actually open MusicMatch, click the little CD button and get the CD to play that way.

I've tried going down through all the folders from C:/ to the MusicMatch .EXE allowing full permissions for the administrator (and all the corresponding folders inbetween), but I still get the permissions error. I've gone through adding the administrator to the permissions window and giving administrator full rights to everything pertaining to this, but I don't think that's necessary since administrator should have full-rights anyway.

Anyone have any ideas?
