Windows autoplay dialog box is empty, no actions to select? XP Pro

[Guest Craig]

I just completed a new system with XP Pro 64-bit. Whenever a CD/DVD is

inserted into my Philips Sata drive or a device is connected I get the usual

pop-up box that has the following, "Windows can perform the same action every

time you insert a disk or connect a device with this kind of file. What do

you want to do?"

 

At the bottom is a checkbox with the caption, "Always do the selected

action." along with the "OK" & "Cancel" buttons. The big problem is that the

middle selection area, for the actions that are supposed to happen, is

completely blank! There is nothing to select to do the actions.

 

If anyone could steer me to a solution to this annoying problem it is

appreciated, thanks!

 

Regards,

Craig

Try this forum thread:

If that does not work you may be able to copy the entries from the

Default Users registry section, or I could give you a reg file with my

defaults (32-bit, same?).

 

Let me know if you still need help.

EXCELLENT ... the link you provided had a solution which restored the

features with a single registry edit!! Thank you ju.c for a fast and accurate

solution for my problem!

 

The part of the post you linked for me which helped was this:

Open Regedit and navigate to:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

\SOFTWARE

\Microsoft

\Windows

\CurrentVersion

\Explorer

\AutoplayHandlers

\EventHandlers

\ShowPicturesOnArrival

 

Under the last key above I deleted the following entry and the options

returned in the autoplay box!

 

"NeroAutoPlay7ViewPhotos"=""

 

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Craig

Thanks for the feedback! Just in case this happens again, you can fix it automatically using the free CleanHandlers tool that I wrote.
