Autoplay for Portable Devices
Autoplay for all devices was working perfectly fine on my first Vista
install. A couple of days ago i decided to reformat and reinstall vista. Straight away when that finished i started applying SP1 and all other necessary updates. Autoplay still working fine. I connected my Zen MP3 and its autoplay dialougue opened as normal. Then a few days later, i tried connecting my camera to import. I was notified that drivers had successfully been installed, but no auto play popped up. I checked in Computer and saw that it was indeed connected and listed under portable devices. I was still able to import off it using Live Photo Gallery. But i wanted the autoplay to show up. Then i tried connecting my MP3. Guess what? No autoplay, but it was listed under portable devices in Computer. I connected my Handcam through firewire, and its atuoplay showed up normally, and so does all other types of autoplay devices (DVD, External Drive, USB flash drive, etc) except for my camera and MP3, both listed as Portable Devices. I have been searching the web for answers, and have tried various fixes which never addressed the problem. I have tried the one that involves going into the registry to look for some value "NoDriveTypeAutoRun", but i cant find this value anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix this. As i said before, it was working properly on my previous installation, with an almost identical system. |

Autoplay for Portable Devices
Also, just adding a bit more information:
In 'Devices' in the Autoplay control panel, my MP3 is listed as a device, while my camera isnt, but both still are recognized by Widows. My MP3 was one of the first devices i connected and was present on the list before the problem occurred. When i went into the registry and did a test by deleting the key for the MP3 in 'Known Devices' it disappeared from the list, but when i reconnected the device, it never returned to the Autoplay control panel as a new device, which should have happened. My camera just refuses to even show. Any help would be appreciated. |

Autoplay for Portable Devices
Same thing has happened to me with regard to autoplay recognizing my SD card.
The problem occurred after a Windows auto update. I'm getting more and more tired of Windows- the support is abysmal.
