When I plug a usb device into windows xp it usually pops up with a dialog box on what I want to with it. Trouble is on my winxp laptop when I plug in my usb memory stick I dont get the pop up dialog box. I go to MY Computer and see if it is mounted and then explore its contents.

Must be some setting somewhere that I have disabled or some program has disabled to stop the pop up. I havent a clue where to look.

Look forward to any help you can give me on this.

Cheers

Thanks for the quick replies. under Auto Play there is a drop down context menu with four entries. Music, Picture, Mixed, Video. Even when I put the tickbox to Ask me each time what to do it doesnt pop up. Should there be more in the context menu.

Think I must be heading in the right direction

Cheers

Did you right-click on the Removable Drive icon in Windows Explorer? It should have just "Autoplay" in the menu, which you click on, eg like this example (www.imagef1.net.nz).
