Everything I have tried is below.

When I put a CD in the computer, or plug in a USB flash drive, I don't
get a window asking me what I want to do (play music, open folder to
view files, nothing, etc.) I tested the USB drive on my other
computer, and I get the dialog.

The devices show up in My Computer. If I right click and select
properties, auto-play is enabled for all file types.

Microsoft suggestions tried: http ://support.microsoft.com/kb/330135
1. Roxio Easy CD Creator is not installed.
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom Autorun
= 1
3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 91
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\Winlogon allocatecdroms = 0
5. The ASUS DRW-014L1T cd/dvd drive has the latest drivers, and is
compatible with XP.

details.aspx?familyid=c680a7b6-e8fa-45c4-

1. Downloaded and ran autofix - if reported a repair, and said to
reboot. No change. Ran tool again, now it says it already ran, and I
need to log on/off before running it again. I logged off/on and also
rebooted several times, and I still get this message.
THIS TOOL IS BUGGY!

Googled suggestions not redundant with the above -

The Microsoft tool APPMDiag is supposed to do a postmortem report on
it's last autoplay when you remove a device - nothing appears in the
window when I take out a USB flash drive or a music CD.

Running gpedit.msc (to open the Group Policy window) :
1. Local computer policy - User configuration - Administrative
templates - System - Turn off autoplay = disabled
2. Local computer policy - Computer configuration - Administrative
templates - System - Turn off autoplay = disabled

Any other ideas?

I tried TweakUI. The right drives were preselected for autoplay. The
drive types were not preselected. I selected both of them, and
clicked apply. I still don't get the dialog when I plug in the USB
drive.

It will eventually if you want it fixed. Take relic's advice and fix it...
then stop messing with it.

If it will take a re-install of the O/S then it will never be fixed.
I'll just open the CD/DVD/USB drive in My Computer.
There is just too much software, and too much hardware configuration
to make it worth it.

I don't have any advice to help you, but I'm genuinely curios - why
do you need auto-play? All people I know have actively disabled it. I
consider it highly annoying, and a security risk. From what I remember,
one of the primary reasons I had for installing TweakUI was to make sure
it is disabled, and (especially) flash drives would never autorun.
I think you should consider it a blessing in disguise.
