Urbanoutlaw Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 open "My Computer" Right click on the drive icon, go to properties & you should get a tab for autoplay. Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLlamaLlama Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Tried that, asks me what i want to do if certain types of files are on the disc. I just want the fuckin' game to autoplay when i put the disc in, to save me goin into my comp, starting it up, then having to alt+tab out of the game to close my computer, and have the game crash on me. Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrr. I've heard of a trick from a TV show that can bring back your Autoplay; it's a registry hack, but I don't remember how to do that... Try Googling it...

MrLlamaLlama Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Okay i found thses from a PC froum, i will post them here for you reference, and to assist others, though neither method worked for me personally. 1. Go to Start --> Run2. Type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes 3. In the left pane, click on User Configuration 4. In the right pane, double-click Administrative Templates --> System 5. You will see a value near the bottom called "Turn off Autoplay." Right click and choose properties 6. Hit the radio button called "Disabled" and then apply. ---OR--- 1. Go to Start --> Run 2. Type "regedit" without the quotes 3. In the left pane, click on the plus sign on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SYSTEM --> CurrentControlSet --> Services 4. Click on the folder called Cdrom 5. In the right pane there will be a value called Autorun second from the top. Right click on it and go to Modify 6. In the text box called Value Data, enter 1 and hit okay. 7. Close regedit Thanks to MckenasCole2 at PCmag.com Then i downloaded this: AutoPlay Repair Program @ Microsoft Which didn't seem to work either. I will reboot the PC and let you all know what happened. *BOOM* Edit, still doesn't work post-reboot. There was also this: Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services/Shell Hardware Detection/Return this service to Automatic. But mine was already at auto, so didn't work.

Pandora Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 If ever more things would fuck up I'd just reinstall the full system. It's quite a pain, but you'll have to do it someday when XP starts fucking up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 LOL WUT? Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Pretty much the first thing i did try. But i figure that 80 to 90 percent of the time autply/autorun annoys me anyway. So it's cool, for now. *shifty eyes @ microsoft* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
