I am running Windows 7 64 bit and its a custom built machine

For security reasons as most of the recent viruses,trojans and malware like the Conficker Worm are spreading via autorun,Windows 7 has disabled this feature by default.
Go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Autoplay
At the top in Autoplay Properties,place a check in the box" Use Autoplay for all devices" and click "Save" at the bottom.
Configure your autoplay preferences under "Choose what happens when you insert each type of media or device".
Press "Save" at the bottom when you've done.
Restart your pc.

The Local Group Policy Editor is only available in Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions.
You must be running either Windows 7 Starter or Windows 7 Home Premium edition,hence the Local Group Policy Editor isn't available.
Any policies in place will be found in the registry.
Try the following if you haven't already.

| Hi Ritchie, just a quick message to say that i got my autoplay sorted from that link you gave me. Locate the NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry entry on the right pane. The registry key is in DWORD hexadecimal value, which each bit determines which type of drive to disable or enable AutoPlay feature. There are many possible value for NoDriveTypeAutoRun, some possible wrong value that disable AutoPlay are: 0×000000B5 (181) disable AutoRun on CD-ROM drives, plus default unknown drive, removable drive (meant for floppy or ZIP), network drive and reserved drive type. 0×000000FF (255) disable AutoRun/AutoPlay on all drive types. The best bet is to set NoDriveTypeAutoRun to default value as set by Windows Vista, which is 0×00000091 (hexadecimal) or 145 (decimal). Previous Windows version such as XP uses 0×00000095 (hexadecimal) or 149 (decimal). To enable AutoPlay on all drive types, set NoDriveTypeAutoRun to 0 (zero) or 0×00000080 (128) which only disable AutoPlay on unknown reserved file type. I CHANGED THE VALUE IN MY REGISTRY TO THE ABOVE HIGHLIGHTED VALUE AND CLOSE IT INSERTED A DISC AND AUTORUN WORKED IMMEDIATLY
