Just recently my auto play settings stopped working
When I used to plug in my flash drives or dvd, a little task menu used to pop up asking what program I would like to use…
Help : (
P.S
Ive checked services and made sure shell hardware detection is running
This is what I would try :
Bring up Autoplay from the control panel.
Uncheck Use AutoPlay for all media and devices
Then save.
Close
I would then reboot but you can try it without if you like.
Open control panel again then Autoplay.
Check Use AutoPlay for all media and devices.
Save.
Now put a DVD disc in & see if the Autoplay window appears.
Same for a flash drive.
Had the same problem about a month ago right after a fresh install of Vista Ult 64bit, tried the above and everything else I could think of.
Decided to re-install Vista and for whatever reason everything was and still is working fine.
Have you tried scrolling down the bottom of that page and pressing the reset to defaults button? I had the same problem as you once and it fixed it
