Help with removable drives and autoplay
hello, i have a dell inspiron 6400, vista home premium 32-bit. for some reason all my removable disk are all named the same thing yet on all my other computers they all come up as the default name for removable disks (what ever it may be). i was wondering if someone could help me: 1. tell me how to show the removable disk drives at all times and maybe i can fix the problem that way. or 2. tell me how to correct this through another process. my second problem is the autoplay function. about a week or so i have noticed that every time i plug in my external hard drive or flash drives, autoplay does not run and it should. i have chacked all the settings i know about and autoplay is set o run for every drive, but obviously it doesn't. help with these problems would be greatly appriciated. thanks, -- Ari |
