Question
hello sir,
i got the autoplay options but the options are not apearing when i insert my pendrive.i have kept the pendrive options correct though.please guide me.

Answer
Hello anbarasan how are you doing

do the following

insert your pen drive , then goto my computer , right click on your pen drive Drive Letter for example X: , and choose properties , then click on "auto play tab" and press on restore defaults , then press apply/ok. remove your pen drive and then insert it back again and see if it worked.

if it did not work then do the following

download this tool
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/AutoFix.exe

install it run it , make sure to insert your pendrive , then when your run it press next , it will do global check , if you got any errors/problems  click on "repair"  until they are repaired , when you are done with the repair  click next

it will prompt you to check which drive letter that auto play is not working on it correctly " high light your pen drive letter" and click next , if you saw problems , repair them and then you are done , remove your pen drive and insert it again and see it auto run functions normally

take care and good luck.
