autofix.exe won't solve autoplay problems...please help

[Guest TDA3K]

I need some help regarding problems i am having with my computer...

 

for some reason the autoplay no longer works when a disc is inserted no

media icon appears and autoplay won't start...I can hover the mouse over the

drive the media has been inserted in but apart from the size of the disc

showing no other signs of a disc are visible (no icon if a program, video or

audio disc is inserted...and no name of the disc)i have tried to go into the

registry to solve the problem buy everything seems fine the reg is set to

autoplay...

 

the autoplay problem stretched to usb hard drives to...no icon etc...i

managed to fix that using autofix.exe but my disc drives are still messed up

and it seems they can't be fixed :(

 

when running autofix on one of the messed up drives i get this log file...
