VISTA Autorun

Question

Hi, For an unknown reason, the AutoRun feature doesn’t run on my PC. I have checked my Autoplay settings in the Control Panel and the option 'Software and Games' is set to 'Install or run program'. I ran tests with my Vista original DVD disc and other genuine software disc, and the result is the same: Autorun doesn’t work. Note also that, 'Use AutoPlay for all media and devices' option is checked. Is there a VISTA (Not XP) download fix for this trouble?

Here is a web site I found that has some suggestions to try.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Your solution worked. The value of NoDriveTypeAutoRun was set to 177. As indicated in the article, I set the value to 145 decimal and things work fine now.

I have no idea why or what set the previous value to 177.

Thanks again
