I have tried everything: searching on the web for ways to repair this: with
the gpedit.msc command, with programs to repair (Microsoft only has a repair
autoplay program for XP 32-bit)... I even used my XP x64 CD to repair the
installation and the autoplay function is not working. I have access to my
DVD/CD drive, but for the USB flash drives it's worse: It's partially
recognized by XP x64, because the 'Safely Remove Hardware' button appears and
using 'manage' with right-click on 'My Computer' and going to 'Disk
Management', the drive is there, but with no letter assigned to it and when I
try to 'Change Drive Letter and Paths...', nothing happens.

What else should I try before having to reinstall Windows XP x64?

RE: Autoplay corrupted in XP x64

Hi:
Check this page
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-018
It explains how to "turn-off" autoplay in different scenarios.
You might try to reverse those actions in order to get your autoplay back.
Best of luck.

RE: Autoplay corrupted in XP x64

I appreciate your reply, but I've already tried those steps and it did not
work...

Thank you, anyway.
