Gday from OZ,
Just a MINOR problem, but an irritant.
System is Vista Home Premium, 2.0 rating, Pentium DC PU 2.8 Ghz, Ram 1015, 32 bit.
For info, a reminder that I am a computer MORON so any reply would need to be in basic English .
When I insert a flash drive (ancient model, no brand ,62 meg) into the machine it stays mute and does not "autorun" or show a list of the files existing on the flash drive.
To open the thing, one has to go into "my computer", and select the last listed drive shown e.g. "I drive" or go to the navigation pane of an open file, and click on the appropriate drive from there. Not a great drama, but I miss it opening when plugging a flash drive in, as used to occur in XP.
I also have a later flash drive, that does put an icon in the system tray to allow you to open it from there.
DVD's etc will autorun.
Question. Would it be the case that the original flash drive is so old it is not set to self open?
Cheers

What format are the two Flash Drives in?Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't know a format if I FELL over it. I inserted the flash drive and right clicked properties and came up with this.
Type-- Removable disc--File System FAT- Capacity 62 mb- disc Drive ST3250620AS - ATA device.
All double dutch to me. (Told you I was a computer moron, but I am trying.)
Hope this helps unscramble it.
Cheers
Henell
PS I have no paperwork or manual for it.Right Click the drive in My Computer and go to Properties.
Then in the Autoplay tab, make sure you select 'Prompt me to make a selection'
