Add Program to Vista 64 AutoPlay Options

[Daniel E. Jameson]

Hi,

When I first connected my digital camera to my new Windows Vista 64 bit
computer, it was immediately recoginzed. When I connect it subsequently, I
get the AutoPlay dialog box. I bought the version 7.0 upgrade of Adobe
Photoshop Elements (PSE7) and installed it. I was disappointed that it did
not appear in the AutoPlay dialog box for my camera. From within PSE7 I can
initiate a successful photo download. I contacted Adobe tech support, and
they said

""""
When the 64-bit editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista detect that a new
device or media has been connected, they do not recognize 32-bit
applications as programs that can be used to download or manage the content.
""""

Is there some way I can add any program of my choice to the AutoPlay dialog
box for a device or media?

Thank you,
Dan Jameson

"Autoplay Repair" works for my 32 bit machine. I don't see why it won't work for 64 bit.

Close! But it only has a fixed number of generic devices it can install
handlers for. Thus, even though I could create a handler for PSE7, I
couldn't associate it with my camera. Thank you, none the less.

"Autoplay Repair" is used to create handlers. Do you need help with that?
