Hello,

I've been using Kodak Easyshare for a while now,
and when I put my memory stick in with pictures,
Easyshare always popuped up and transfered the files
to my album for me.
Now it won't do that. Ulead pops up. I guess it installed
during a printer installation. I uninstalled Ulead and now
nothing happens when I insert my memory stick.
I have a 4-1 Card reader
(HP Computer Windows XPHome)

What I've done so far:

My Computer - right click on removable drive click on
autoplay tab an set to "prompt" for all actions.
Rebooted - That didn't work.
I tried to "select action" and chose EasyShare.
Rebooted - That didn't work either.
Went back again and clicked the "Restore Defaults" button
for each removable drive. Rebooted - No Go.

The registry must have a null value or invalid value in
it somewhere.

How do I reset all "autoplay" devices back to default?

I do apologize. I was in the wrong group.

The same sort of thing happened to me with VmWare - USB sticks stopped
autoplaying despite turning on autoplay in VmWare and setting the autoplay
options in Vista.

Deleting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun

sorted it out.

btw
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom\AutoRun needs to
have a value of 1 for CD/DVDs to autoplay.

The usual warnings apply when diving into the registry ...

Regards,
