"What action do you want to take" problem
 

Each time i insert a CD (not autorun) into my drive or am memory card into my memory ready i used to get a pop up asking me what action i wanted to take and i could selelct from the applications listed.

Last night all of my optical drives hade code39 driver errors so i resolved the problem by editing the registry as per the MSDN site and this seemed to work. However now when i insert a CD or a memory card i never get the popup window asking you what action to take.

Anyone seen this before?

Dunno, but I'd quite like to turn the bloody thing off!!!

I keep telling it, "Take No Action" and "Always do this....." but it just won't leave me alone :(

Yes, can't remeber the fix yet though? Whats showing if you right click the CD drive > prooerties > Autoplay?

Re: "What action do you want to take" problem
 

its not releated to the CD as the same problem occurs whin i insert a memory card into my card reader

Propmt me to choose an action is selected though

Same part of the registry though isn't it? Try this: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/AutoFix.exe (virus scan first though)

Autoplay repair wizzard by what happens when you click on it ;)

didnt make any difference

Re: "What action do you want to take" problem
 

damn Well the keys to look at appear to be under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\ I suppose one solution could be for me to send you a copy of those keys or post them here?

ill check those against my other PC

Oh naggy software is the worst.One doesn't mind being asked once but after that it's as bad as being nagged by your mother. :erm:

Re: "What action do you want to take" problem
 

theres way too much in there to be able to check

why not back up that whole key then and copy the same one over from the other PC and run it.

Re: "What action do you want to take" problem
 

What happens if you right click the card reader or CD Rom drive? Is there an autoplay tab that you can reset to defaults?

Re: "What action do you want to take" problem
 

just tested it and its not working on there either, now thats weird
