What if you open Windows Media Player and just click play?  (Depending on
configuration, you may have to click the down arrow next to "Now Playing"
and choose the CD drive.)

When you say "looked at everything on that CD", does that mean "with Windows
Explorer" ?

And if so, does what you see in Explorer appear the same when you do that on
both PCs?

AutoPlay is on.
I have looked at everything on that CD and there are no files on it that 
represent what will play on a PC.

Could be AutoPlay has been turned off.

I am not sure about the HOme version but in XP Pro from My Computer or 
Windows Explorer right click the CD/DVD drive and choose properties.

Next select the Auto Play Tab where you can choose what option you want to 
occur when a particular type of CD/DVD is inserted.
