How do I stop Autoplay box from opening when I sync my BB w/ the USB cable?
- John YesterRetired Superstarwhen box pops up, go to bottom, and select no action. also choose the box to apply from now on.... in win XP06-26-08 09:41 AMLike 0
- Okay, calm down, d@mn!
This cannot seriously be that hard... you can always look on Google! And then you don't have to worry about people there giving you the wrong answers and then flippin' on them.
Back on topic : There should be an option in the AutoPlay that is something along the lines of "DO NOTHIN" (not sure the exact wording)
Then there should be a box to make that the default action whenever Vista recognizes your Berry!! Select 'no action' and check the box... now the pop-up won't show every time you plug your Berry in.
Also, Desktop Manager does not auto-open when you plug in your Berry. The only thing you can do is set it to auto-open when you log in.06-26-08 11:23 AMLike 0 - Okay, calm down, d@mn!

Seriously... I've sync'd my phone for a month and this never happened so there is something that turned it on and I'm trying to find out and turn it back off.06-26-08 12:09 PMLike 0 - John YesterRetired SuperstarIrondad, just future FYI. If you post a question and act like that it will not be helped in the future....least not from me.....
1. You start yelling, expect yelling to come back from other users..... Not good..... The OP said about xp... yeah maybe he didn't catch that but he was willing to help with some info... no reason to yell at him........Last edited by yester18; 06-26-08 at 12:13 PM.

This comes up and relates to your microSD card in the device... the computer has AutoPlay because some people use it, for example, to automatically open a DVD player app when a DVD is inserted, etc.
The PC is seeing your mass storage (the media card) and wondering what to do with it. If you set your device by going to Menu / Options / Media Card / Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected / set this to Prompt or No
When mine is connected to a USB is automatically asks if you want mass storage mode.
If you are browsing the media card and dragging and dropping files through Windows Explorer, then you want mass storage mode on. Otherwise, when using Desktop Manager... you do not need it on. I assume that mass storage mode is promting this AutoPlay dialog box.
Same thing happens if you plug in a USB drive, put in a CD, etc.
*EDIT* : And sorry to come off negative earlier. When you used all CAPS it made the impression that you were getting pissed at another user because they gave you advice for Windows XP instead of Vista. The process is essentially the same for both OSes. Either way, I did not mean to start beef... haha. And I hope everything is cool06-26-08 12:16 PMLike 0 - John YesterRetired SuperstarCAPS in known in computer world for yelling. or expressing loudness......06-26-08 12:19 PMLike 0

Thankfully I figured it out...06-26-08 12:26 PMLike 0 - For VISTA or Vista users here's how you fix this if you have the same problem:
Type "autoplay" in the start search and the autoplay icon will come up. Click on it to open the dialog box. At the top there will be an option for "use autoplay for all media devices". If it's checked then every time you plug something in it will open the dialog box, but if you uncheck it then it won't happen.
Mine apparently was unchecked originally but something I installed must have checked it. I unchecked it and am back to like it was before06-26-08 12:33 PMLike 0
