Not a major problem here, but I want to run something past all the computer guru's out there. When I plug my camera or the memory card into my computer, the autorun doesn't go. I have to manually do it. (start, my computer, right click on drive, and select autoplay) I have the following programs that could be causing problems (blocking) it. Quicktime, ACD Photoshop, Adobe, Realplayer, and HP photoshop. I have looked at all the programs and none are set to recieve the pics. I like Windows to recognise and just put them into "My Pictures" without one of my programs doing it. I have even downloaded the Microsoft tool to set up the autoplay device on the drives and it says everything is fine and all is well. Like I said, it seems like something is blocking it (my pointer turns into a hourglass real quick then goes back to a pointer) from bringing the screen up to let me choose what to do with the files on the disc. I have even opened the autoplay on the drive and checked the box to remember this choice and still it won't do it when I rehook or reinsert the card.



Any suggestions? Like I said it's not like I'm lazy (I am) but I was just used to doing it the one way and it's kind of got me wondering what could be interfering.



Thanks.
 
Try looking back at the autoplay on the drive properties and choosing to prompt you each time. Make sure that every option is set to prompt and try it.



May also want to restart after changing any settings just in case.
