My AutoPlay is not working correctly. I have a DVD Drive and a DVD+/-RW Drive installed, but whenever I insert either a DVD or a CD into either of the drives, XP just opens a folder showing the contents. I am not receiving a prompt to allow me to choose an action.
This is regardless of contents (I've just inserted a normal video DVD, a data DVD containing MP3 files, VCD, Data CD and Music CD - all of which just open as a folder).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Other things that don't seem right:
- Both drives seemed fixed labeled as a 'CD Drive' within 'My Computer' (I understand that this should change dependent on the last operation / contents - but mine remain constantly 'CD Drive').
- 'DVD Movie' is not listed in the drop down box of the AutoPlay tab within the drives Properties, only: 'Music files', 'Pictures', 'Video files', 'Mixed content' & 'Music CD' are listed, for which 'Prompt me each time to choose an action' is selected.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have TweakUI installed, and everything seems fine there. Everything that needs to be enabled is - and I've tried disabling and re-enabling everything.
I found the 'Autofix' tool, but that hasn't helped. First run on my DVD-+RW picked up problem with 'Current User Policy' and 'repaired' it - but still no joy after reboot. Second run ran 'monitoring tests' and picked up a 'Problems' but clicking on 'Repair' gave this message:
'Either the device is malfunctioning, or the wizard cannot determine the problem'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Other things to consider:
Still burns to CD and DVD fine, Reads DVD's in PowerDVD after I've opened it myself etc.
I get the prompt when I plug my USB HD in asking What do I want Windows to do...
Drives: Nec2500a DVDRW, and Liteon (JLMS) 166S DVD
It used to bloody work!
Anyone know how to get this working as it should?[XP Pro, SP1]
