Turn off atoplay feature for USB hard drive?
On my computer I have a USB external hard drive and when my system comes out
of sleep the autoplay kicks in. Is there a way to disable the autoplay feature for just the USB hard drive (but leave the autoplay for ALL other things). Any help/ advice or comments would gratefully accepted. NIK -- Remove NOSPAM for personal reply |

You may want to take a look at your drivers for that hard drive. What may be
happening is when the system comes out of sleep, it discovers the device as new. Try to re-install the driver using the EXE file in the driver disk. If that doesn't work, try loading it, using the "update driver" option, and pointing to the driver CD. This may fix your issue.

Thanks for the reply Gene.
Unfortunately there was nothing to install when it come to my USB hard drive as everything was handled by windows. FYI: windows vista rc2 , build 5744 Western digital "My Book" 320 gig usb hard drive NIK -- Remove NOSPAM for personal reply "Gene Fitz" wrote in message ...

Please send a bug report on this *now*, so it could be fixed in the Service pack 1,
or some earlier update. --PA "nicholas" wrote in message ... Thanks for the reply Gene.
