| | Autoplay Doesn't Work I've seen numerous posts about the autoplay feature in Vista, so its obviously a problem... I have autoplay set for the majority of instances where I would like it...but I get absolutely NOTHING!!! Nothing when a DVD, CD, Program Disk, or any other kind of disk is inserted...NOTHING... Obviously there is a problem with this feature, as I've seen no difinitive corrective action posted to get this "feature" to work properly... I'm about to chuck Vista, and go back to WinXP...This new system is supposed to be "designed" for Vista...but all in all...I think its crap...from features that don't work...to being told, as the administrator on my own machine, that I don't have the permission to do things...to the fact that I can't seem to delete a directory unless I clean every subfile and subdirectory out...even if I myself created them... |
