Camera Autoplay doesn't work

When I plug in a digital camera, I no longer see the autoplay dialog.
This is not a driver issue because (a) autoplay doesn't work for any
camera I connect, and (b) it was working fine a few days ago. The
system does recognize the cameras because they're listed in Explorer
and I have no problem getting pictures from them. When a camera is
connected, the cursor changes briefly to a wait cursor, but then
nothing else happens.

Any ideas?

TIA
Chris

Sorry, I should have added that the camera Autoplay options are set
correctly in Control panel. I'm guessing that this is some kind of
registry problem.

Re: Camera Autoplay doesn't work

I would try changing them, exiting the AutoPlay options, go back in and set
them the way you want them. If there is a registry issue, that should fix
it. You could also check event manager to see if there are any errors logged
when you do this. Do your other AutoPlay options work OK?

Re: Camera Autoplay doesn't work

I tried resetting the camera autoplay option, nothing changed. All
other AutoPlay options work fine. Can't find anything unusual in the
event log. Stumped.
