Stupid Camera Trix
Every once in awhile I come across some hardware or software issue that takes quite a bit of Google sleuthing to figure out. I keep thinking that I should document these tidbits in case someone else ever needs the same answer.
Nikon Coolpix 2100 AutoPlay and Nikon Transfer do not launch after connection
Today's issue was getting AutoPlay to launch on my XP Pro SP2 box when I attached my Nikon Coolpix 2100. It used to work on my old machine, also running XP Pro, but I couldn't figure it out. I checked the AutoPlay settings a million times and even installed the Tweak UI Powertoy from the MS site. I installed the AutoFix tool as well but it didn't tell me anything. I uninstalled the camera in Device Manager a half-dozen times and plugged it back in again...nothing.
So, how did I fix the problem? I came across a little entry on a forum that suggested uninstalling RealPlayer. So, I uninstalled RealPlayer and fired up the camera. Yep, AutoPlay works now.
