follow the suggestions on the web page. If you'r still not satisified, i suggest you chat with Microsoft 24/7 customer service online, they do really come in handy; and if you'r thinking of downloading autorun.dll, do get it from microsoft/partners, its safer that way. First, follow the suggestions on the webpage.
