No "Action" Dialogue box

[Ron]

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?
