Autoplay Screen Does not Appear

When the Autoplay screen does not appear, it is usually due to processes running in the background that conflict with the game.

First, make sure the game disk is in the drive. If you have a DVD edition disk, please make sure you are using a DVD-ROM drive and that all of your background tasks have been shut down.
