| | repair auto play settings I had Nero showtime set as the default to autoplay DVD's. I upgraded via uninstall to a different version of Nero showtime the autoplay settings GRAYED out the OLD showtime, and I want to fix it so it runs the installed showtime. The autoplay wizard dated 2003 from Microsoft won't even run on Vista. Is there a known registry entry for the autoplay settings, or specifically the 2 grayed out entries I have on all Older Nero autoplay settings ? -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |

I installed a DIFFERENT version of Nero [showtime] and I can only assume it saw in the registry that it already was the DEFAULT, or the registry key already existed, so it moved on and left the old broken registry key alone. I need to get down to the root problem. Vista doesn't know it's broken. I need to find the autoplay registry entries to fix Any and ALL grayed out entries. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |

I installed Nero, it set showtime as the default for DVD player which I wanted. I uninstalled that version of Nero and installed a different Nero. Now the default player [showtime] is grayed out in the autoplay section of vista. It points to where the REMOVED Nero showtime existed. -- more pix @ http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/index.html |
