View 4 RepliesI have kaspersky antivirus 2010. When i scan vulnerabilities it shows:
'Autorun from network drives is allowed'
'Autorun from hard drives is allowed'
'Removeable Media autorun is allowed'
'CD/DVD autorun is allowed'
i fixed it, but when i tried to rollback settings, it didn't work. I know it's unsafe to enable autorun, but what should i do to enable it? I tried to enable autoplay by changing default settings for media or devices, but nothing changed.
Quick example: Put in CoD4, no options come up. Even when I right click it in Computer, there's not Autorun on the list, as there has been many times before. I tried the regedit option, it was set to 0, I put it to 1 and restarted, still nothing.

First and foremost, let me quickly explain the issue:
- Autorun NEVER works
- When i insert a disc or USB device, nothing happens
- When i go to My Computer and double click on the drive, Vista asks me if i want to format the CD/DVD
- Vista thinks that every CD/DVD i insert is blank... This includes mounting an ISO via Daemon tools........
How I disable AUTORUN of a DVD DRIVE? In VISTA & XP ...

View 6 Replies View RelatedI face a weird issue with my Vista Enterprise edition. Sometime back suddenly one day all the autorun settings disappeared from my system. When I checked the autorun defaults setting from the control panel I see that that dropdowns have gone blank completely. All the default options like "Open folder..", "Take no action", "Ask me everytime", etc. are simply wiped off... No more there! Later when I installed some software like picasa, winamp, etc. these programs got added to the options list in the autorun defaults, but the above default options are still missing.
Now the autorun works in my system, and automatically launches the applications like picasa or winamp for appropriate disks, but I can't set/select the options like "Take no action" or "Ask me everytime" how I can add those default options back again?
I recently downloaded a trial version of MS Money Deluxe and can't install; I get a window that pops up saying "autorun.inf missing or corrupt". I'd like to try and buy but can't even do the former.

What (free!) software would back up an image of the HD to a USB stick so that if I have a problem whilst away from home I could boot from the USB stick and reload the image? Would Acronis True Image do this? Are there any others better?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought an HP Pavillion a6750f in May. Its OS is Vista 64bit. This machine ran fine for the first month, then I started having issues. I cannot pinpoint the start of the problems to any one event. I first "lost" autorun. I was trying to install PhotoImpact. The first disk worked fine, but when I put the second one in, I got an error message telling me something about autorun (seems to me it was something else, but I cannot remember what at this time). Any way, if I put any disks in, the computer would not automatically open them, or run them. After a few days of struggling with this, I finally got things working again. But, about a week after that, I began getting the Windows Explorer has stopped working error. That still is not fixed! I am a college student who takes most of my courses online. I needed Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4, so when I tried installing them, I got a bunch of errors, issues, and problems. I uninstalled just about every program I had, and tried installing one at a time to see if any of the programs were causing problems. Vista, as you know, does not support many older programs, which is a PAIN! But, I did find a few "upgrades" for some of my programs so they would work with Vista. Unfortunately, after installing those "upgrades", my computer still did not work properly......
View 4 Replies View RelatedI picked up a shiny new PC yesterday much to the annoyance of the wife (oops) and verything seemed to be running nicley untill I wanted to use an old HDD like a USB memory stick for file transferes. I plugged it in and a little message popped up saying device installed (i think), but I could not find it anywhere. No folder or options as to which way I'd want to view the files and nothing on the "Computer" tab. It was like there was nothing plugged in. I know it should work as it shows on the wifes laptop with 32bit Vista on it.
A friend with a bit more Vista experience tried to install WMD from a menu which came up as failed and now tries to install on every time I switch the machine on. But also, now when I click the "Computer" tab, explorer crashes and hangs. Task manager tries to close it but nothing happens, so I have to reset the PC. It seems like the HDD is searching for something while it tries to close. Could my HDD be at fault or should I just reinstall Vista and cross my fingers? Games and the internet work fine, but I can't access the computer tab.
I have about 3 GBytes of picture files that I keep in my Pictures directory. I sometimes copy them all to a USB 'memory stick' partly as a backup & partly to use them on other computers. It takes quite awhile to copy & overwrite them all. I would like to copy/overwrite only those files which have been edited, or which are new. Should I be using some sort of advanced copy command, or should I be looking at the backup options, or perhaps the 'briefcase' (which I have never tried)? I have Vista home premium

This never happend with the USB wireless stick. With the usb stick it just froze every 60 seconds. Now that i have a pci card i think it's even worse. Can someone try and fix this for me, it's annoying as fuck. Also when gaming i loose connection on me and freeze but everyone else is moving, it's mostly everybody freezing though. and soon im not gonna put up with it and im just going to stop playing. I can't handle this.
Purchased a notebook yesterday that has Vista Home Premium pre-installed
1. Was not able get the time zone value to stick during setup, Had to reset after set up.
2. I successfully connected to the internet via dial-up, but I then changed the settings to not automatically dial. Now I cannot find the equivalent of "Network and dial-up connections". I want to create a shortcut on the desktop or a toolbar for each connection. How does one do this?
3. I have 2 desktop.ini icons on the desktop. Likely, because I told Vista to not hide any files.
4. How does find the equivalent of Windows Explorer?
5. Ditto for My Documents and My Computer.
I have come across this problem in vista a few times before and every time I just ended up giving up the idea of installing a software. But this time I don't wish to. I have recently got a copy of Fifa 2008 iso. I used virtual clone drive to mount the image. Following this, the iso is getting mounted but autorun crashes.
I get the following error - "Autorun program has stopped working". Because of this I can't even install the game. It's a cracked iso and it works perfectly fine on XP machines. So, I presume that this is a problem with vista only.
When trying to copy a folder from a memory stick to my external HD it says Destination folder access denied. You need permission to perform this action. No doubt its something similar to my last post, but I can't seem to get around it. Any info would be great. TIA BTW I have 2 memory sticks and only one came up with this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a program that scans your computer for viruses and other stuff(its not an antivirus) and it uses SOPHOS antivirus to find viruses. It found one virus on my computer called " W32/autorun-FF " and I downloaded the 30-day trial of Sophos antivirus but it is not finding the W32/autorun-FF Virus . Is there a way I could remove it manually ? :S. when I go to the registry and click on "Hkey_Current_User" on the right side I see " OS shutdown REG_DWORD 0X00000000(0).
