Default Autoplay on USB card reader won't work - help!

Have you checked and manually reset at?...

My ComputerDevices with Removable Storageright-click on
[device]PropertiesAutoPlayActions?

I have a client who's suffering the same problem. Up until now, she's had
to use System Restore to re-enable AutoPlay (digital camera). She used
AutoFix.exe and says all is well currently. If that changes, I'll next
check her system for hijackwa

Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in
background:

1. CWShredder (fix all found)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all found)

3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) is the preferred
tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at

Also:

1. Download and run Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/); then...

2. Update your virus definitions, enable Show Hidden Files
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02092715262339)
and then run a full system scan in Safe Mode
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406)
with nothing else running in background. Note the files identified and
removed then find the corresponding page for the file at your AV maker's
online support pages (e.g.,
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...favorites.html)
and follow all Removal steps.

WinXP Only (WinME similar): If this scan finds anything, create a new
Restore Point then Disk Cleanup More options Delete all but the most
recent Restore Point.

3. Check in at Windows Update.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

The fix:


AutoPlay Repair Wizard


Thanks for trying, but as I said, I already tried MS's autofix.exe
("AutoPlay Repair Wizard"). I tried it several times to make sure I
had run it correctly. It did not fix my problem.

Anyone else? I've already wasted a few hours on this problem. I kept
hoping it would be an easy solution once I found out what to fix. My
next step is to start over and completely re-install XP. Since this
is a relatively fresh install and I have other computers to assist,
it's not that big of a deal, just a few more hours work. I've had to
install almost every other MS OS more than once to get it work so it's
really not that big a surprise.
