Using CD's and DVD's

My PC has two combo drives. One is a burner and the other is a reader.
When I load a CD into my computer the search window opens instead of the
application needed to read the disc. So when a program CD is loaded, it does
not start to install the program but opens this search window. Same when I
load a music CD or DVD. My default application does not open just the search
window. Can anyone help me with this problem.
