Well, I have an idea but it's just an idea...
Head here:
Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP:

Download TweakUI...
In there why not try disabling the CD/DVD AutoPlay feature entirely. (It's
under My Computer > AutoPlay > types FYI) After you do that I imagine you
should probably at least log off if not restart. Then you can enable it
again using the same application and once again restart. It will, I hope,
basically reset the settings for you and the handlers. You can also check
those too to see if they're set to do nothing which is an idea.
