That's great! I'm glad that you found out the answer to the problem... and
thanks for mentioning it to. I'm sure this is going to help out many others
with similar problems out there as well.

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

Hello,
You can try installing the AutoPlay Repair Tool and see if that can fix

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
