My laptop has only just found the CD drive - 2 weeks after first using the
machine (it hadn't recognised it and then out of the blue it found new
hardware and installed it after I had been without for all that time).

Now, whenever I click on the e: drive, it says "you are not permitted to
execute the following program "E:\autorun.EXE" Please contact your
administrator. However there are no other users on my computer and I am the
administrator. How can I fix this problem? Please help if you possibly can!!!
