AUTOPLAY WIZARD not woking on Vista / XP

Solution (things to consider):

Ensure that Shell Hardware Detection service is running

Type “service.msc” in Start Search to run Services console. Locate Shell Hardware Detection,

and ensure that the “Service Status” is Running, and “Startup Type” is Automatic. If not,

start the service and change the Startup Type setting accordingly.

Ensure that CD-ROM AutoRun is not disabled in registry

For users facing AutoRun/AutoPlay doesn’t work when insert a disc into optical drive,

run Registry Editor (regedit), and navigate to the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

Locate the AutoRun registry value in the right pane, and check that the value data for AutoRun is set as 1 (one),

which is enabled. If it is 0 (zero), which mean disabled CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive AutoRun process,

re-enable the AutoRun by changing the value to 1.

Ensure that correct NoDriveTypeAutoRun and/or NoDriveAutoRun policy value is set

Delete NoDriveTypeAutoRun and/or NoDriveAutoRun on the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

or (note that above registry value, if exists, will always supersede the below user-specific key),

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Uninstall conflict software

Some software application, especially disc imaging or image editing program such as Nero,

PowerISO, MagicISO, and even some other programs such as Rhapsody and various

VMWare virtualization products such as VMWare Server and VMWare Workstation.
