Autoplay does not on flash media

[cheerful]

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit
I've turned on Autoplay on all media. Default action is set to open in explorer for all except the blank media.
Autoplay works fine on CD-ROM and removable hard drive.
However, it's not working on any flash media (flash drive or card inserted into a reader).
How do I troubleshoot?
Thanks

I've tried both and none is working. How do I troubleshoot?

Have you installed Panda USB vaccine by any chance?

 

[cheerful]

No. It's a clean installation. The following might-be-relevant software are installed

Blackberry with Media Manager
PowerISO
Symantec Antivirus

I have an MP4 player that has an 8gb flash drive, that connects to my laptop through USB. That never comes up with autoplay, though I never had any use for it. Maybe autoplay isn't compatible with flash drives. To prove that though we need more people with the same problem.


If/when you had Vista, did autoplay work then?

Just checked autoplay control panel, flash drives are not listed. Only contents options and mixed data.

I have attached many diff types of flash drives and removable media. Autoplay comes up right away.

hi cheerful, could you please tell us which version of Blackberry media manager you are using , maybe that is interfering with autoplay, have you updated the card reader software ? if you give us a little more info on your system [make/model] we may be able to help you further

Actually, scrap what I said about my MP4 player not alerting autoplay, I had 'Take no action' selected for 'Mixed content'.

He said he had everything listed as 'Open in explorer', so my first comment is not needed

Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\AutoPlay and check Use autoplay for all media and devices.
Also, at the bottom of this page, click Reset to Defaults.

I finally got it working:

Disable autoplay completely in control panel and via administrative template

Reboot

Enable both and set NoDriveAutoRun to 0x91 in Registry (was not present)

Reboot

The 2nd reboot might not be necessary.

HUGE FYI: You do realize that Microsoft disabled this for major security concerns. This is why they made it difficult to turn back on. It may get turned back on automatically in the future with Windows Updates. Microsoft found this to be such a concern they disabled it in Windows XP -- to --> Windows 7.

Yes, I understand the risk. I've chosen all action to open in Explorer. This is mostly used to transfer files.
