Autorun issue on CD driver TEAC

I've an assembled PC, Athlon XP 1800+ on ECS MainBoard, with a TEAC CD
Driver, a DVD LG and a DVD-RAM. I choose using the Teac when I installed
some time ago the peripherials to go easy on the DVD when reading CD.

Recently, Autorun is acting very funny on the TEAC. When I put a CD into
the driver, nothing happens. So I double click on it, and the Autorun
starts. Plus, I can read every bit of data into the CD, nothing seems
wrong. Only, when I pull the CD out, it sometimes stays "fixed" on the last
CD that was into the driver, and I've to doubleclick to force him to
acknowledge the ejecting of the previous CD. Sometimes it resets to blank
CD alone, but never recognizes the new CD into the unit until I doubleclick
on the icon.

I tried with the microsoft tool, without any success. The registry keys
seem fine. I had Nero Burning Rom 7, and I deleted it to do a try. The
driver functioned for a day, than, after restarting Windows, the issue
began again.

I've got Windows XP Home Sp2, registered, of course.

Thanking you in advance

a friend of mine had an almost identical problem, his was a slot loading
dvd drive in a pc he had just built, it would read some disc's ok but
some he had to leave in the drive and reboot the computer for it to
autorun, and sometimes it would leave the disc programs icon after it
was removed. we found out that particular drive needed an 80-conductor
ide cable and not the 60 he had used. this resolved all the problems,
hope this helps, here's a usefull link

The fact is:
- On Ubuntu Linux the Teac CD behaves properly. It even does Autorun.
- So it does with a clean Windows 98.

- The issue is only with Xp, nothing hardware, every bit software, and I
wanted to delay a bit the reformatting of the whole PC, since everything
else is going well
