I have noticed that other people have problems getting there auto play to
work in XP. My problem is that when I insert my memory card my auto play
window comes up and all functions work except camera and scanner wizard
nothing happens when I select this function. I t worked at one time I don't
know what happened. I have tried many fixes can someone please give me some
good advice as to what I should do next to fix this problem.
 
Well I tried that and no luck at that one either. Any other suggestion would
be appreciated. This seems to be a wide spread problem with XP. A person
would think that Microsoft would get a fix for this. Your suggestion was
appreciated.

Different ways to try to repair the Autoplay window for
downloading from
either a camera or card reader.



Go from steps I to V, although step V may not be needed.

I. Connect your camera to your computer, power it on and
make sure you have
pictures on your memory card. Make sure your batteries
are good or better
yet, use your AC adapter if your camera came with one. If
you are trying
with a card reader, just connect it with a memory card
inserted and with
pictures on the memory card.

II. Click on Start, click on Run and type the following
in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run.

III. Go to the following site:
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/autofix.exe

and download the autofix.exe file in one of your folder.
Once done, double
click on this file. A window will open. Follow the
directions on the screen.

Once done, turn off the camera and reboot.

IV. Power the camera on, wait 10-15 seconds for XP to
recognize it, you
should hear some beeping sound and the window should now
open giving you the
option of downloading photos from the camera.

V. You may have to set the options for this window.
Click on My Computer, your camera should be listed there
under Devices with
Removable Storage. Right click on it and click on
Properties. In the opening
window, click on the Autoplay tab and under Select,
scroll to Pictures to
select it. Select the button Prompt me...



Here are previous fixes at the Microsoft FAQ page.



Go this site:

Fourth item from the top of the page. Two fixes are
presented. One is to
edit the registry, the second one is to download Tweak UI
and do the repair
with it. If you are comfortable editing the registry, go
ahead.

If not, download Tweak UI.

Once you download the Tweak UI file in one of your
folders, double click on
it to install it.

Once this is done, click on Start and click on All
Programs. Look for Power
Toys for Windows XP. Click on it and Tweak UI will be
listed. Click on it to
get is started.

A window will open. Click on the + sign next to My
Computer, then click on
the + sign next to Autoplay. Then, click on Types. Check
the boxes for
Autoplay Drive Types and click OK.
