    I have an audio cd that's labelled as an enhanced cd, it has song files AWA a program you can run on a computer. This program has been installed on my desktop for a while now and I wanted to install it on the LT.

    However when I insert the cd in my 1681 it recognizes it as only an audio cd and shows only the song files when I explore it, it does not show the enhanced program. How can I get the drive to recognize the program? A search of the program name on the cd shows nothing. When I search it on my desktop the program shows up. What's going on????

    I'm guessing that this is some sort of copy protection system (not really an enhancement) but I'm also guessing that your cd drive may have autoplay turned off, you could try enabling this and see if that works. Although personally I would think using a media player, like windows mediaplayer or itunes would be a much better way to go, I personally don't like the idea of having to install an unknown mediaplayer(that could do harm to your pc) to access the music that you paid for...but maybe I'm a little touchy on that topic.
