Autoplay wont start

[John Calder]

Hi

I run WinXP with SP3

I can't get the auto play to run on my computer. I have checked all the
registery settings and they are what they are supposed to be according to
various sources from the net. Autoplay is enabled and I have even tried the
Autoplay Fix from the
Microsoft site.

Also, I did have Roxio Creator on my computer (which apparently can
contribute to my problem) however I have removed it and still get the same
problem.


Nothing seems to work...has anyone any ideas on why it is not working?

Roxio says it all,its junk software...Try device mgr,expand the cdrom or rw
tree,R.click on the hardware,select uninstall,close out,shutdown pc.Try
moving
the device to another IDE connection (set jumper pins),xp will reinstall it.

We have experienced similiar issues after XP3 update of late. Also removed
all forms of Intervideo and Sonic Crapware from new system.
* Did uninstall as described. Checked IDE cable connections (only) as did
not understand moving connection. Reboot reveals ...will not play any type of
media including microsoft disc,music,photo ,or data. Our research found an
old hotfix ...prior XP2 ?, with May 2007 update at >
