LR2.3/Vista: why won't it auto open when camera is plugged in?

Dear All:
My LR1.4 used to automatically open whenever i plug in (via usb) a camera, very convenient.
i've upgraded to LR2.3, and all seems to be fine.
i just bought a brand new Fuji F200EXR camera, and somehow, "autoplay" does open (that's a Vista autoplay window), but LR2.3 does not open up. even when i choose the link at the bottom of the autoplay window for managing that in Vista, Fuji F200EXR DOES show up, as do other cameras that i've used before, but the drop down menu for the Fuji F200EXR does not contain LR2.3 in it!
may i ask what the proper, correct way is to request that LR2.3 opens up whenever a camera is connected? (it's not an issue with my other cameras, just somehow, the Fuji F200EXR is not quite recognized by LR2.3 or something like that).
thanks in advance.
PS: the way i do it now is after i plug the camera in, i then open up LR2.3 manually via double clicking the LR2.3 icon on my desktop. i then go to File/import via a device. at which point, LR2.3 takes only a very short time to upload my pictures from the SD card inside the Fuji F200EXR camera. i find the LR2.3 faster and more responsive than my previous LR1.4.

I haven't been shooting any photos lately, so I hadn't run into this yet, but it seems like Lightroom 2.3 didn't install any AutoPlay handlers (which is what adds items to the list in the AutoPlay Control Panel). I plugged in my Fuji camera, and it wasn't there. So I tried by Canon, and it's not there for that camera either.
So I decided to uninstall and re-install LR 2.3, and that seemed to fix it.
So, I'd suggest that you do the same. 2.3, although technically an update, contains the entire program, so just uninstall LR 2.3, then install LR 2.3 update (don't install LR 2.0 first, which is what you get on the install CD). If you don't still have the 2.3 update, you can download it from here:

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.

  • Why won't my folders open when I  click on them?

    My Mac has been doing some irritating things over the past month or so. When I click on an arrow to open a folder with multiple subfolders, for instance, it often won't open. I have to click it repeatedly. It will finally open. Or if I click on something in the menu bar, it won't remain open. I have to keep the key depressed. These things don't happen all the time but frequently enough to become annoying. I hope this isn't the prelude to a major crash. I regularly run maintenance scripts. I hope someone can suggest a solution.
    Thanks for helping me with this.

  • Why won't Elements 12 open Canon camera RAW files ending in IMG?

    I have a new camera, Canon SX50 which produces RAW images called IMG files. I tried to open one in Photoshop Elements 12 and it says it does not handle that file type. I have Windows 7 x64 operating system. I tried to find updates for Elements 12 and don't see any. (I thought I needed a Camera RAW update). What do I do?

    I am not sure if it is relevant but literally 30 mins ago I saw my sytem said there were 2 updates for PSE and PE .
    I accepted and saw it loading tons of stuff 45 MB or so all labelled Camera Raw or something like that - maybe that is a fix for your problems
    NB I am totally inexperienced just mentioned it as you might check out if you are up to date, and if the latest update helps your issue.

  • Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

    iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

  • Why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
    That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

  • Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?

    my iphoto won't open... But the pictures are still there
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    Can you do that with a MacBook?

    Sorry but with that amount of information no one can help
    We can not see you or your computer and can not read your mind so you have to actually tell us details
    Start with the version of iPhoto and of the OS and details about what is happening
    Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?
    I believe you are saying that the iPhoto Application is in your Applications folder which is good
    my iphoto won't open
    Ok - but exactly what does happen? telling us the problem without details does not give us anything to work with
    My car won't start - Why?
    But the pictures are still there
    Does this mean tha the iphoto library is still there? or that you see the photos in iPhoto? Exactly what does it mean?
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    Is this revelant to the issue? If so then again details - what does "added a disk" mean and what disk did you "add"?  Wnd what exactly did you do to "somehow zip some files"? What files did yoo\u "somehow zip"? What did you do with the files you "somehow zipped"?
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    I have no idea what you want to know here
    Can you do that with a MacBook?
    What is "that"?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

  • Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

    Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

    The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
    You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
    I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
    Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and  if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

  • Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??

    Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.
