When you put an audio CD in, open My Computer. Right click the CD-ROM drive and from the menu click "play". If it will then play your CD, then do this. Right click My Computer and click "properties",then click device manager tab. Click the + next to CD-ROM listing. Doubleclick the listing that comes up. Click on the Settings tab. See if there is a check in "auto insert notification". If not,put a check inand ok your way out. Re-boot your PC and go back to see if the check stayed put. If so,it should auto play your audio CD's now.

Do need to ask tho',does it not play "all" audio CD's? Or just home burnt ones? If the latter, they may not have been "closed" properly when burnt. Also,Media Player 6.4 is the default player that comes with 98SE. To upgrade it,you don't have to uninstall it. The new version will overwrite it.
If you "do" decide to upgrade,i would suggest you get Media Player 7.1 . But,be sure to go into it's tools>options menu's and disable all the "call home" junk there. Also suggest you simply use the "now playing" feature and on the "options"menu>"player"tab, take the check out of "start player in media guide". You can then drag and drop any mp3's you may have on your hard drive to the "playlist" portion of the player window to play them. When you want to remove them,just highlight them with your mouse and press the delete key.

You can get other versions of media player here:
