Question
how do I enable autorun for camera wizard on insertion of flash card into card reader
I have had recurrent problems with getting the MS XP camera wizard to open when I insert a flash memory card into the card reader.
I have read all the posts on this topic here and none seem to help me!
I'd like to know how to edit the registry to enable or disable autorun feature for specific drives (I think this is where my problem lies).
I have enabled the autorun feature to run the camera wizard through the MY Computer for the removable media drives corresponding to the card reader but it didn't work. I've tried uninstalling the drives through the device manager and they re-appear after startup and the problem persists.

This is how it should look:

"WebshotsShowPictures"=""
I forgot about this one:
The AutoRun or AutoPlay Feature Does Not Work
http://support.microsoft.c
SYMPTOMS
When you insert a CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, the AutoPlay or AutoRun feature may not work and may be unavailable. However, your CD-ROM drive may work correctly in every other way.
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Hi,
Well, I read the replies and gemarti, I found that I have NoDriveTypeAutoRun REG_DWORD in my registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
the value is 0x00000091 (145)
What am I supposed to do to fix this problem? do I delete the Key or do I change the value to zero or something else?
The other Registry area you advised me about checked out to have all the same keys except for the webshots, and I have an adobe key in there that you hadn't listed. The remainder was the same as you indicated.
>>What am I supposed to do to fix this problem? do I delete the Key or do I change the value to zero or something else?
Check this location in gpedit
START | RUN | GPEDIT.MSC
Navigate to:
Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System
If "Turn off Autoplay" is enabled then set it to "Not Configured"
If it is already set to "Not Configured" then reopen the registry:
START | RUN | REGEDIT
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
Click on this key so that it is highlighted.
Click FILE | Export
Save the file with a recognizable name like: NoAutoplay.reg
After you save the registry key delete the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and its data
Reboot your machine.
If that doesn't resolve the problem you can put the value and data you deleted back by double cliking on the NoAutoPlay.reg file.
Note: Editing the registry can potentially damage your system. Make sure you have a backup before editing any key.
the answer to fix my problem, but it worked. Eaither installing MS Windows XP Service Pack 2 or MS Media Player 10 caused this problem for me. Connecting my Sony DSC-V1 used to cause the MS camera wizard to pop up and picture transfer was easy but after the above mentioned 'upgrades' the camera only showed up as a removable media storage device (drive) and the wizard wouldn't work anymore. I found that for many people, uninstalling Real Player fixed their problem, but if you have tried that or don't have Real Player installed, download and run this file from Microsoft's website. It checks out all the autorun settings and fixes any that may not be properly configuered for autorun to work. (Also make sure you've tried configuering the autorun to actually perform the action you want in the device properties first).
[link name=http://www.microsoft.
If the link changes, just go to microsoft's drivers download page and in the search box type 'autoplay' which should lead you to a file called AutoFix.exe DL this file and run it following the instructions. Magic!
Yes, I'm in shock Microsoft actually did something right even though it was to fix something they did wrong. Anyway, good luck! If this helped you please let me know! I'd like to think 6 hours of time did more good than to just myself.
