AutoPlay Issues with Windows (Vista/7) x64 [Fixed]

Greetings.
I tried posting a response in this thread...
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4174479
...about the "solution" I found for restoring autoplay funtionality with non-volume devices (Cameras, Phones, etc...), but while I can dig through the registry just fine the reply button on the forums eludes me.
From what I can tell, the problem is very much related to the way the 32-bit applications of Bridge, Premier and Elements interact with the 64-bit OS when it comes to autoplaying.  Looking at event viewer logs and what not shows that the autoplay process effectively crashes or locks up when it attempts to initialize with the Adobe applications in the list.
Anyway, without futher ado, the steps to "correct" the problem.
NOTE: This will remove the autoplay functionality for Bridge, Premier, or Elements (which didn't work with non-volume devices in x64 anyway).  Also, this requires going into the Windows registry to fix.  If you are not comfortable doing so, then find a techy friend to assist you.
1.) Open Registry Editor
2.) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlers \
3.) Right click on EventHandlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file.  This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
4.) You'll have to go key by key, but you'll want to look for values that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
5.) Now, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ Handlers \
3.) Right click on Handlers, select export, choose a location, and name and save the file.  This will save a backup of the registry keys/values you will be deleting should you want to restore them later.
6.) This time you will be deleting any keys (they look like folders) that contain "Bridge", "Premier", or "Elements" (or other Adobe Products) and remove them.
7.) Close the Registry Editor and reboot.
You should now find that your Autoplay functions work perfectly with non-volume devices again.
Hope this helps you all.

Hmmm... I guess ou need to have posted atleast once before you can reply to other threads.  Sorry for what is essentially a double post, I have added this reply to the other thread. Mods can feel free to delete this one.

  • Itunes 8 - issues with Windows Vista

    I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista home basic. Downloaded Itunes 8 and installed it ok, but when i go to start itunes, it starts in a minimised screen and I can't see the any of the buttons along the top (file, edit etc..). When the screen is maximised, the appearance is ok. But there is a problem with language in the play-lists - the playlist titles are in another language (Looks like Swedish or Finnish).
    I've checked all the language settings in itunes and in the operating system too and they are all set to English. Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is this a known issue with Itunes/Vista?

    I am having the same problem regarding the playlist languages, as well as other aspects. For example, my library name under preferences is not in English. Have you resolved the issue? I have checked all of my itunes and computer language settings and they are all set to English. I even changed my computer settings from Canada to US so that they are all the same.

  • ITune reinstall issue with Windows Vista

    Because of a malware issue I was recently forced to remove, among all the others, my iTunes program from my computer (Dell Studio 1535 using Windows Vista Home Premium Service [OEM] Pack 2). A few days ago I went to the Apple site and downloaded the iTune64 setup application. When I click on the app it starts to install properly but all of a sudden I receive a popup saying:  “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This canoccur if you are running Windows in safe node, or if the Windows Installer isnot correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.” I am not running this setup in "Safe Mode." After numerous internet searches, fix attempts and discussions with individuals in India I’m still having this issue. Could anyone offer any suggestions?  BTW, this WILL be the LAST Windows base computer I will EVER own. In the meantime, I need my iTunes back.

    Hi,
    Apple has released the 2.2 driver update for BootCamp.

    It should address the difficulties with the 24" iMac.

  • AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
    When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
    "The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
    Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
    I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
    Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
    Here's information about the disk share implementation:
    - The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
    - The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
    This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
    If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

    Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
    - It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
    - The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

    I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
    When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
    Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

    Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
    Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

  • Dynamic ARP inspection rate limit issues with Windows Vista Systems

    Good Day to everybody.
    I had implemented DHCP Snooping & Dynamic ARP inspection feature to mitigate ARP spoofing attacks to one of customer location where we have mix of Windows vista & XP systems. By default DAI feature rate limit ARP packets on un-trusted ports to 15 Packets per second. With this value I was facing some issue to access file shares where port will go in error-disabled state due to ARP broadcast from system was crossing 15 PPS limit of DAI. For the same, I had increased the DAI limit to 64 & after that we had not facing this problem from windows XP systems, but windows vista systems are still giving problem. Also this probem is very random in nature & not all the windows Vista system will face same issue even though they are accessing same file share & are configured with same DAI rate limit.
    That's why I am not able to figure out baseline values for DAI rate limits. I had already search microsoft documentation for limiting this ARP broadcast from Windows Vista system, but no luck.
    Is there any way to find out correct settings for this DAI packet rate limiting in Windows Vista enviorement ?

  • ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

    I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
    Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
    Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
    Now the problem has begun...
    I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
    Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    I still have to find a verification for this, but:
    Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
    I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
    The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
    ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
    Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
    Sorry

  • I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I've been using iTunes on this computer for over 6 years. Suddenly I can not play any music on iTunes. I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes however it did not fix the issue. Can anyone please help?

    Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?

    Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk.  It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

  • Weird CS4 hanging issue in windows Vista when opening files with PS already loaded

    I just installed the demo. I have a dual monitor setup running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with 8GB ram ...
    It appears I have both the 32bit and 64bit versions of PS CS4 installed. If I open either of these apps, then choose say a jpg on my desktop, right-click in windows, choose, 'open with' and select 'Adobe Photoshop CS4', then PS hangs - period. After a while, clicking the title bar of the app (which is a kind of menu bar in this version) causes it to return to the old look windows title bar where it shows my image name and the zoom etc, but with the usual (Not Responding) at the end of the title bar text!
    It does this no matter which version (32 or 64bit) is presently loaded. It also does it if I have CS4 loaded and I select 'Edit with Photoshop' in Lightroom 2.1 (my main app which is configured to output files in 16bit PSD format).
    Another weird quirk I found in CS4 - if I select 'Help', 'System Info' it displays the info on my second monitor, not my first! I figure this by the screen res shown as my second monitor (monitor 3 in Vista) is only running 1280x1024. Not sure if this has an effect on which monitor profile is used by PS - I would hope not as my 1st monitor is my calibrated one!
    Thanks, Paul

    Freeagent - I just did some more testing and figured the issue I think! I had selected 'Enable OpenGL Drawing' in Performance preferences and even though I have the very latest nVidia driver (downloaded today) this still causes this issue!
    One issue I have noticed though since figuring how to fix this - I have 2 monitors and on the left one I have the panels un-docked and laid out neatly on the desktop. I then have the main PS window with it's height shrunk as slim as possible and filling the top width of my 2nd monitor. In CS3 when I open an image, it generally remembers where the last one opened and uses the same place - this includes if I had the image in its own window on my main monitor. In CS4, it seems to want to open them in tabbed dialogs within the PS main window and for some reason they are on minimal magnification, so I need to drag the tab over to my main monitor every time and zoom in to get a decent size displayed.
    Is there anywhere to configure where you want it to open images?
    Thanks, Paul

  • SSLVPN connectivity issue with Windows 7 x64 All browsers.

    I think that I have tried everything to get this working but whatever I seem to do I cannot connect to my SSLVPN using Windows 7 x64. The 32bit version is fine. I have installed the Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2005 for both x86 and x64. I have tried clearing the cache in the Browser. I have installed Chrome and Firefox , I even started my laptop using the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' from Advanced Boot options but nothing is working.
    Does anyone have anything else to try. This is a bit of a showstopper for us because not do we have this issue with Windows but we have Mac users as well and that is also an issue.
    Cisco really needs to fix this issue fast...
    Please help.
