no autoplay for cdrom, camera...

[Viviane]

Hi,
Until recently, when I inserted a CDROM or when I plugged in my camera, a
window opened automatically and displayed the content of the CDROM, or there
was a slideshow of my pictures, which is what I wanted. Now this doesn't
happen any more, I don't know why. How can I restore the autoplay?
I've looked into MyComputer->right-click on the devices->tab autoplay, and
checked that the appropriate actions are selected, but this doesn't help.
Thank you.

Check if this is disabled in TweakUI > My Computer > AutoPlay > Types.
