autoplay problem on 5920

I've been using my 5920 for about two months now, and the last two weeks autoplay doesn't seem to work anymore, I even resetted all te settings in the control panel, but when I insert any media, it stil doesn't ask me what to do with it

I use tuneup utilities 2007 for cleaning the comp (reg and hard drive)

Does anyone knows what may be the cause of this problem?

 

Make sure SHELL HARDWARE DETECTION is enabled from Windows services

 

the service you said is enabled, so that can't be the problem.

If you do a recovery will it erase everything on the D partition as well?

 

Hi beele

I we have the same problem of auto play

I solved the problem by resintalling Vista using the Acer Factory Backup disc generated by Acer eRecovery software My Vista reinstalled pretty fine without erasing the D partition. I think its only C that will be reformatted. There is a warning that was displayed in the recovery that C data will be eased but no warning that D data will be erase. So I think if you reinstall vista using your recovery disc will not affect D partition

I have a question, what softwares did you installed b4 you had that problem? For me, my suspect is VMWare software, I installed it as an emulator for Ubuntu. Installing it will disable the autoplay.

 

Hi big spin where can I find SHELL HARDWARE DETECTION?

 

Go windows services @ admin tools

 

Well I have vmware as well, so that might be the problem, I heard somewhere else that normally it shouldn't be that hard to enable it again, I'll look into that.

EDIT: found solution: run vmware as admin, go to edit and select preferences. there click the tab devices and uncheck disable autorun, reboot your pc and all should be fine, works for me (only cd/dvd, usb still doesn't autoplay)
