IE7 uninstall problems

[Doug]

Hi everyone,

I am running XP MCE SP2. I installed IE7 and kept losing my connection
since that update, Uninstalled. Now since the uninstall, I am having
problems installing or running programs with Autorun when I insert a disk.
Install routines seem to run okay if I"m installing from HDD though.

EXAMPLE:
Put in a new CD-ROM for install, IDE light comes on for about 4 or 5
minutes, then it'll run correctly. Tried other player, same thing. Loooog
delay, then it'll pop up and run.

Tried a completely different program disk, and same thing, both players.
Leads me to believe it is software related.

I don't completely understand the "Windows Installer" package, could it be
that is corrupted somehow?

Everything was smooth till that dang IE7 was installed. I better wait for
a few months for them to get the bugs out I suppose.

Anyway, any thoughts are appreciated!!

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Scroll down to Windows Internet
Explorer 7 > nuke it and IE6 will come back. I agree with you, wait and
see what happens to others before taking the MS new product plunge

Some MSoft people have written an unofficial program to fix problems with
Autoplay. As such it is not on a Microsoft site, but it can be found at

Rock,

Seems to be the same version (5.2.3790.67) thats on the MS site, just
without having to go through the validation process, far as I can tell..

Ok, thanks. I didn't think it was on the MS site. It was unofficial.

It ran, I did the test and tried to re-create the problem, it finished the
test and it came up with nothing... I quit it, messed around for a couple
minutes, then all of a sudden, the startup routine kicked in from when I did
the test program.

It just isn't reading for whatever reason. It will take about 4 minutes or
so, then it will work.

Additional info: I can open the disk, access the files just fine, just as I
always have been able too, but it's just the Autoplay that's not working.

Got me on this one, I have no idea where else to look....

Doug,

Look in device manager, IDE ATA/ATPI controllers, properties, advanced tab,
for the Primary or secondary IDE channel where ever your drive is connected,
see if the drive is in UDMA 2 mode or has slipped into PIO mode..? It should
read as Ultra DMA 2 mode..

You can manually run the setup or install file from the CD without autorun
as a work around. Sorry I don't have any more ideas.
