You mean the autoplay feature of Windows? Or is it within Ubuntu? If it 
is within Windows you should check your Windows settings.

It seems you have at least burnt the CD as an ISO. You might have a 
compatibility issue with the CD drive of your laptop and that might as 
well be the reason why your autoplay doesn't work. Try to burn the CD 
again with the lowest available speed. Or as an alternative, you could 
burn the ISO file to a DVD if your laptop supports DVDs. If you have a 
CD-RW or DVD±RW medium you can try these.

Another alternative would be the Ubuntu Netbook Remix from a USB stick 
if your laptop can boot from USB.
