Vista Autoplay settings not working

[peck1234]

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

You might try the suggestions at this link:

AutoPlay/AutoRun Not Working or Missing Not Open in Windows 7 / Vista - Tech...

The “service.msc” in the link suggestion is not going to work on Vista.It is services.msc instead.
