Autoplay stopped working USB Camera

[Doug]

I have an Olympus D390 Camera. It used to work fine with
Windows XP autplay. Now when I plug in the camera (via
USB 2) the Autoplay "Choose an action" dialog doesnt come
up any more.
The only thing I think may have affected it, was I
started using a Creative Nimrod Jukebox 2, which also
uses USB 2. Im not sure if this affected it or not, but
now its doesnt work.
For the camera the Removable drive (E shows up ok in my
computer, and explorer. And Ive checked the AutoPlay tab
properties they are all set ok. Ive also checked in
TweakUI to see if autoplay is on for Removable Drives (it
is). (both for the drive, and drive type)
When I plug it in, the "Saftley Remove Hardware" icon
show up it in the task bar, and the machine beeps. But
the Dialog no longer shows up?
Can anyone help me fix this?
Doug

Hi Doug,

I had the same trouble after installing some critical updates and advised to
get an Auto Wizard repair tool from Microsoft which worked...
Hear is a link and dialog from previous news!

Hope this helps.

Different ways to try to repair the Autoplay window for downloading from
either a camera or card reader.



Go from steps I to V, although step V may not be needed.

I. Connect your camera to your computer, power it on and make sure you have
pictures on your memory card. Make sure your batteries are good or better
yet, use your AC adapter if your camera came with one. If you are trying
with a card reader, just connect it with a memory card inserted and with
pictures on the memory card.

II. Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run.

III. Go to the following site:
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/autofix.exe

and download the autofix.exe file in one of your folder. Once done, double
click on this file. A window will open. Follow the directions on the screen.

Once done, turn off the camera and reboot.

IV. Power the camera on, wait 10-15 seconds for XP to recognize it, you
should hear some beeping sound and the window should now open giving you the
option of downloading photos from the camera.

V. You may have to set the options for this window.
Click on My Computer, your camera should be listed there under Devices with
Removable Storage. Right click on it and click on Properties. In the opening
window, click on the Autoplay tab and under Select, scroll to Pictures to
select it. Select the button Prompt me...

Fourth item from the top of the page. Two fixes are presented. One is to
edit the registry, the second one is to download Tweak UI and do the repair
with it. If you are comfortable editing the registry, go ahead.

If not, download Tweak UI.

Once you download the Tweak UI file in one of your folders, double click on
it to install it.

Once this is done, click on Start and click on All Programs. Look for Power
Toys for Windows XP. Click on it and Tweak UI will be listed. Click on it to
get is started.

A window will open. Click on the + sign next to My Computer, then click on
the + sign next to Autoplay. Then, click on Types. Check the boxes for
Autoplay Drive Types and click OK.

Used to beable to auto download photos from digital
camera directly to my pictures. Autorun not working now.
Still works OK for CDs. Any ideas?
