Yet another autoplay problem
Hi all,
A problem with autoplay popped up yesterday. When I plug in a digital still camera, autoplay appears to be completely broken. None of the apps assigned to the device in the autoplay settings will start when the device is plugged in. I've tried disabling/re-enabling autoplay, checking the group policy settings, and making sure the autoplay flags are set correctly in the registry, but nothing seems to solve the problem. I've tried this with three cameras - a Canon EOS 5D MkII, a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon PowerShot SD1100IS. None will call their respective applications when they are plugged in.
Other USB devices, like USB keys, my Flip camera and my external HDD work just fine -- I plug them in, and the autoplay prompt (or associated application) pops up normally.
The only software apps I've installed recently are Photoshop CS5 and Pinnacle Studio 14. I've uninstalled both to see if the problem goes away, but it remains.
I can't pinpoint exactly when the problem started, as it has been a couple weeks since I downloaded photos from my camera, but it was working fine before. It's not a huge deal, but I would like to figure out how to fix this problem if anyone has any ideas. Thanks in advance.
