Hi Hakvinius,

It may be a AutoPlay setting that is off or has been changed. Put your
USB devices in and check in AutoPlay to see if you see anything for
"what to do" settings for a USB device. You can use this as a guide on
AutoPlay.

Thanks for the suggestions. Autoplay is however set to "autoplay for all
media and units", and there is no specific entry for USB-devices. The
devices that are listed are:

Sound-CD (A)
Extended sound CD (A)
DVD-movie (A)
Extended DVD-movie (A)
Software and games (B)
Pictures (B)
Video files (B)
Sound files (B)
Empty CD (B)
Empty DVD (B)
Mixed Content (B)
HD DVD-movie (C)
Blue Ray Movie (C)
DVD-Audio (C)
Video-CD (C)
Super Video-CD (C)
Digital video unit (B)
Canon PowerShot S3 IS (C)

Settings for each of the units above:
(A) Play in Windows Media Player
(B) Ask me every time
(C) Choose a standard value

Hakvinius,

Was the USB device plugged in when you checked AutoPlay settings?

Hi Shawn,
Yes it was. I actually tried twice with different devices (one USB HDD and
one USB Memory Stick).

Umm, I do not know then. You might try clicking Computer in the Start
Menu and right click the USB device and click Properties to check and
see if there is some setting that may be responsible for it. Wish I
knew more for you to try. AutoPlay is usually the culprit.
