Actually, that didn't work; however, I have figured out the problem. I
finally investigated more thoroughly within the Device Manager. I noticed
that there was one drive with a name I didn't recognize... after much
thinking and looking around, I finally figured that it had the same name as
one of my printers -- specifically, the Brother MFC 210C. This puzzled me,
until I remembered that the printer has several slots for reading digital
camera media. Testing my theory, I unplugged the USB cable from the
printer... and the AutoPlay problem disappeared immediately! What I then
did, after plugging the cable back in, was to disable this "drive" (which is
how Windows sees the media... as a removable drive) in Device Manager.
Should I ever get a digital camera, I will gladly enable it, then reinstall
the device driver, which should fix the problem permanently.
Thanks,
Eric

I have this rather bizarre problem with Autoplay... twice recently, it has
decided to start all by itself, then stop, then start again, then start,
going over and over and over... I can't figure out why... there were no
cds in any drives, and Device Manager indicated all was well. Any ideas
from anybody here?
Thanks,
Eric
