Autorun/AutoPlay in my system had been disabled when I insert external storage devices like CD,DVD or Pendrive. Is it because of Virus? Can I enable it without reloading my Windows? I am using Windows XP, SP-2. Please help.

You can re enable it using TweakUI .. But believe me, you are better off with autorun disabled. In fact I'll recommend disabling autorun on removable drives also.. These days pen drives are the most common channel of spreading the virii ..
