I no longer get a dialogue box asking for action to take when I plug in my
USB camera or USB Sandisk memory card reader. I may have accidentally turned
this off but, I have tried to turn it on again by right clicking on the
camera and the card reader in My Computer and choosing Properties. I have
chosen to be prompted for action to be taken but this doesn't work.

Is there anything else that I can do to fix this?

See if AutoPlay is off in TweakUI > My Computer > AutoPlay > Types.
TweakUI is available from

According to TweakUI, AutoPlay is enabled on all drives including removable

Then you may be able to undo this in the Explorer. Right-click the
drive > Properties > AutoPlay.
