Hello,

When I insert flash, etc into the port it doesn't autoplay and I can't 'see' it in 'My Computer'. However if I go to an app like Word and I click "open", I can see it from the drop-down menu. Please how do I fix this?

Thanks.

it could be that u changed the setting(cant remember wot its called)that searches for drives each time u open explorer, its a tweak some people use have never used it, will try to find out abt it but try this first
insert a flash drive, go to run then type compmgmt.msc
when it opens go to disk management in the tree thingy and see if the flash shows der(jst want to confirm if all your services are starting)

i'll check and see if i can find where i saw d something about hiding drives

this might help http://www.technize.com/2007/05/29/show-or-hide-drives-in-my-computer/ best of luck!
