Autoplay is not working for CDs / Cameras and other external devices.

All devices will initiate autoplay actions if you right click on device in
explorer and select autoplay but windows will not initiate this action
automatically when cd inserted or camera connected.

Have tried the following:
All settings / ideas identified in following article have been checked and
are correct
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330135/en-us

Have downloaded and run the autoplay repair wizard and tested on DVD drive
and camera. Both reported similar problem with no apparent fix. Extract
from logs:

malfunctioning, or the wizard cannot determine the problem.

Running out of ideas so any assistance appreciated.

Hi,

All values for NoDriveTypeAutoRun in HKEY_USERS are 91 (Hex) as expected.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

After installing SP3 autoplay works perfectly.

You could install it again if it's already installed.
