AutoPlay does not work when it is connected to an external hard drive

My system is installed with Vista. Lately I noticed that whenever I connect an external hard drive/USB or load a DVD. the AutoPlay function does not work. I tried to make changes via the Panel control, but without success. to access the device, I opened MY computer and open the unit. Please help how can I reset the auto run System. Thank you.

Have you tried the "Reset all default settings" button in the control panel?

See if it helps:

  • Muse Composition AutoPlay does not work when published

    I have set up a blank publication in MUSE widget to AutoPlay. It autoplays fine in preview mode, MUSE and in the preview in browser mode. But now that I published it online, it is not auto-jouer.

    I publish the html code in DreamWeaver and ftp to my server from there. I have made many other sites in this way I know pretty well how to publish them this way.

    Here is my site, if you are dialing, you can not see because I'm reload from scratch again and again until this I got this figured out, but try it anyway you please:

    http://christianhomebusinessassociation.com/index.html

    In preview of MUSE modes the first image appears with a trigger of color yellow because the active state is set to yellow, and then it starts just to auto play from there. But not in my browser. I tried several different browsers and on a mac and pc, and it is not auto-jouer anywhere.

    My settings in MUSE are:

    Position: stacked

    See setting targets: bearing

    Hide targets: no

    Transition: discoloration

    Transition speed: 1.5

    AutoPlay: 4

    After: 3

    Play once: not clicked

    Others... not important.

    In my opinion, it worked when I first downloaded it. Then I must have missed a few hours. When I got home and made up to the top of the page, it was not transition automatically more. I thought that it was like an animated .gif can fail to slow down after a while so I deleted my browser cache for the day and refresh the page, but it won't play again. Then I tried in different browsers and on a different platform, and I just don't want to auto play online.

    Since then, I have re - check to see if it still worked in MUSE and Yes, it's the reading automatic always in States of the preview. So I reuploaded ALL html code, images, scripts, etc. and still does not.

    Please notify.

    Thank you!

    Hi Claudia,.

  • Touchpad problem - running on battery power, does not work when it is connected.

    Laptop Toshiba with Vista. The Synaptics touch pad battery power works fine. When it is plugged in, it freezes.  Disconnect the power supply and back to the battery and everything is fine.  That's happened?  How can I get the touchpad to work in both modes of power?

    I played with power options, and there is nothing specific to the touchpad.  Setting the power of USB has no effect either. This laptop (Toshiba A505 series) is up-to-date with all service packs, etc.

    Hi mravitz,

    You need to maybe uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers installed on the system.

    Uninstall and reinstall the Synaptics drivers.

    a. Click Start, point to settings and then click Control Panel.

    b. double-click system click on hardware and then click Device Manager.

    c. expand the device, and then double-click the Synaptics driver.

    d. click on the driver tab and click on uninstall

    e. restart the computer and check

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    10. restart once again & test.

    NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx
