I fixed the problem: Real Player 10 was causing Autoplay not to work
on my USB Card Reader. Once I discovered this, I found through Google
that others have made the same discovery. Uninstalling Real Player
fixes the problem - Autoplay works fine again. I managed to find Real
Player 8 and use that for now.
