MS AUTOPLAY ISSUE

Guest

In July I started a thread regarding the autoplay wihich wasn't working, more
particularly in relation to the transfer of images from camera to PC.
Elmo kindly responded with: '
Before reinstalling the camera software, try this. Plug in the camera,
open My Computer, right-click the camera, click Properties, click
Autoplay tab, see if the application associated with the camera is
mentioned in "Select an option to perform" list, and select the action
if available.'

Done that but it did not solve the issue. The AutoPlay tab firstly showed
it was set to Music files, so it was re-set it to Pictures and under Actions,
Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using MS Scanner and Camera Wizard.

Seeing that that did not work I went back to the AutoPlay tab to find it had
reset back to Music files.

Comments/suggestions please.

Also, the MS option at the bottom asked only if the question had been
answered. The answer is 'Yes', but but the issue had not been resolved. So
may be the boffins really intended to ask the latter question.

I had an autoplay problem with a customer about a year ago, he had
installed and run a registry "fixer" several times.
long story short, created another user, deleted user with auto play problem
(saved user files when prompted) and auto play was fixed.
may not be the perfect fix but after 2 hours of working for free I had
enough.
