I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I just can't figure it out. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I connected to a projector for the first time today and now anytime I go into IE or Word the display automatically zooms out as far as it can go. Plus the icons on my desktop are very large and when I click on the option to view them in classic size they go down to classic size then...

Is there any utility that will automatically backup an external device, such as a usb flash drive, to the hard drive.... perhaps as an autoplay option? Because that might relieve my constant paranoia that swathes of some gigantic essay I'm working on will be mercilessly obliterated before I remember to save. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to...

how do i stop vista forcing the installation of its crummy wddm on my graphics card, i have tried numerous times to stop it, and now its getting on my goat of annoyance

Hi, I am about to purchase a new Dell Vista 64-bit system. I originally intended to have a pair of 500gb to 640gb hard drives in a Raid 1 configuration, so I would have automatic duplication of both OS and data files. If one drive failed, I could just swap in the other, and be good to go. The particular system I'm looking at doesn't offer a Raid 1 configuration, only Raid 0. The system...

I am running Vista Home Premium. I have placed a shortcut to Outlook in the startup folder but Outlook does not automatically start when the computer is booted. Please help.

Hi, When I insert a new device (a flash drive, SD card, CD/DVD, etc.), Windows detects and installs the device, but doesn't display any AutoPlay window. I've checked the AutoPlay settings in the Control Panel, but AutoPlay is enabled and everything is set to the default. I tried setting a couple to specific actions, but still, nothing happened when I inserted the device. Any ideas? --...

Vista Home Premium - I place blank media in the CD/DVD drive - but I do not get the dialog box with the burn options. I get nothing. Same for blank CD and DVD. Even from the drive, selecting the "Open Autoplay" option I get nothing - no response at all. The media type is recognized - a "CD-R" symbol representing the media I am using shows up on the drive image.

Is there a way, in Windows Vista, to disable the autoplay feature so that windows explorer does not open up displaying the contents of the external hard drive after each boot up.

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...

Hi All, I am using windows vista home premium SP1. And whenever i put in a CD or a DVD in the DVD +/- rw. The auto play window would not longer appear. And the issue started 5 days ago when I re-installed windows (again). I have not installed any anti-virus software or anti spyware. Or any burning software. Its frustrating to open the disc through computer. I have checked the registry entries,...

Hi! I am very impressed with the forums here so I thought I would risk public ridicule by asking about a problem I can't seem to fix. I have a Kodak Easyshare C643 Camera. It shows up in Autoplay as "C643 Zoom Digital Camera" and I have it set to "Ask Every Time". I have tried setting it to others in the drop down list, but no matter what I do, it will not autoplay. If I remove the SD card...

I am working on a simply backup solution on a new dell with vista, I made a batch script that would simply use ROBOCOPY to automatically back up certain folders. I made an autorun.inf file that works fine on another computer to call this batch script, and the batch itself runs fine when called manually, but autorun refuses to work. I have tried many things to fix it. Additionally, when I...

Hi, I face a weird issue with my Vista Enterprise edition. Sometime back suddenly one day all the autorun settings disappeared from my system. When I checked the autorun defaults setting from the control panel I see that that dropdowns have gone blank completely. All the default options like "Open folder..", "Take no action", "Ask me everytime", etc. are simply wiped off... No more there!...

Hi! everyone. I have this problem. Recently I installed VMWARE Workstation. I know that VMWARE disable the autorun feature for pen drive so I wasn't much concerned about it.

We have Vista Business 32-bit on a Dell Dimension E521. Autorun.inf files used to launch programs on CDs and a USB flash drive we use. One day this stopped working and I have not been able to figure out why. The Autoplay applet in Control Panel appears to be set correctly (Software and games = Install or run program). The same CDs and USB drive that do not work on the Vista desktop will...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT I was talking to Western Digital today and they gave me an RMA to return a "defective" 1 gig hard drive that sounded like a garbage truck for the past 4-5 days. I could hear the drive in the next room while watching television. I'm glad to say I don't have to return the drive. Today I downloaded the beta of Microsoft Security Essentials for testing purposes. I uninstalled...
