Auto Import of pics not working ( NOW FIXED ! ! )

For ever and a day, until a couple of days ago, I just plugged in my camera and the pics automatically downloaded and erased.... as it was happening, a box appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen advising me that windows was downloading the pics, and showed a thumbnail of the pics as they downloaded, and also a progress bar.... the thumbnail was then re-shown as the pics were erased from the camera.
the destination folder of the pics was "Digital camera downloads 2010" and a subfolder with the current date was then provided for the pics to be downloaded to... easy to find them by date..
a couple of days ago, I did not see the box and thought the pics had been downloaded , but they had not, and were still on the camera, so I had to go to Removable disc F:/ and download them and then delete them on the camera... they then had the "camera number" as the file number whereas the above system gave them a new number 001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg etc....
I have looked at Auto Play and the setting is for "Import pictures using windows".... which is what I had set before... I have changed it and then saved it and then changed it back again and saved that, but still no joy on the auto download.
anyone any ideas, Please?

have never transferred pictures directly from camera to computer (always used a card reader/card slot) so perhaps the same would have happened to me ... who knows?
bit of bulk renaming will fix your problem though
remember now: I disabled auto import aeons ago as it dragged in all files off flash drives which I considered not worth the security/malware risk

surely updates, are supposed to "CURE" problems,.... not make the program (microsoft windows) not work....
and if you think it might be an update. perhaps you could tell me which one,,.as all my updates go on automatically.

What have you changed It to Gerry? Try changing It to " Ask me every time "

"Choose what happens when you insert each type of media or device"
with a check box "Use Auto Pla for all media and devicese"
then lists the things that can "autoplay"... where it says Pictures... the choice is "Import pictures using windows".
view pictures
copy pictures
create copies
open folder
take no action
aske me everytime....
I have always had it set to "Import pictures..... cos it did everything automatically, and I could just plug my camera in and it downloaded 300 pics and deleted them.,renamed them and put them in the due date folder where I could view them...
Just tried it with "Ask me everytime".... but it doesn`t even come up with the usual box of choices.... just shows the camera as "Removable disk F:/ (and the pic is there for me to download manually)... OK for one or two . but a right pain in the rectum when there are more than a couple of pics, which there usually is 100 ish, minimum....
Additional test.... just now....
Have Audio CD to "Play audio CD using windows Media Player" put in a Glenn Miller CD which usually plays automatically, but not this time.... again, it appears as D:/ DVD player _ Audio CD and when I double click on the CD icon (filename) it starts to play with WMP...
so there is something missing somewhere..... but where ? ? ?

Quote from: shutter Tried the System restore..... said it did not finish properly,...
Could be you are running Norton or Kaspersky or similar security software. Try running System Restore from Safe Mode or Startup Repair Mode.

Quote from: shutter I can live without system restore............
You can live without one of your kidneys but that doesn't mean it's a good idea if it can be avoided.

Well that's hardly surprising if it doesn't work! It might have been a quick and easy fix to your current problem but we'll never know.
