Autoplay won't work?

WD External and Portable SSD Portable SSD

Hi

For quite a while now; autoplay has not been working for my wd passport essential.

The autoplay window will not appear !!

I’m using windows vista.

Please Help ?

*Autoplay for the drive does work on my alternate laptop though but not on this particular one. My registry settings and autoplay settings are configered correctly - so what is the problem ?*

The Autoplay feature on your computer might be off , try changing settings or turning on. Please check this  info

As I said in my first post; autoplay is enabled with the"ask me every time" option for all media.

Yes I saw that, although, what I’m trying to imply is that this is a feature on the computer, so unless you change settings it should work. The drive is just the drive and as long the computer shows the drive that means that it’s working. Autoplay is part of your OS and should work fine unless you have some other issues. Where you able to get more info on the link I provided?

Autoplay works fine for all other media…usb flash drives/cd’s etc. It just doesn’t work with this particular hdd ?!

Autoplay is enabled as described in the link you provided…

Well if this is the case the only auto play settings that need to be changed are the ones for the ext hdd. Right click on the drive and check the settings there and enable whatever you want the drive to do when connected to the computer.

There is no option to set the autoplay settings for the drive… :frowning:

Check this  info about auto run. If no go, I’ll have to refer you to Microsoft forums/support.

Thanks for the help so far…

No go. My value was set on 91 and I even tried setting it as 0. Still not working. This leads me to believe that another program on my laptop is stopping autoplay from working.

I have nero 10 installed but it is also installed on my other pc where autoplay for the drive works.

Any other ideas of possible conflicting programs etc ?

:cry: unfortunately no other ideas on my end. Please try on Microsoft support forums as well.
