Flash drives, digital cameras and other USB devices don't show up in My Computer when I plug them into my laptop.
When connected, the devices can be found listed in Device Manager but not in My Computer and no window opens to view files when first plugged in.
When I first got this laptop 6 months ago all was working fine.
I suspect the problem is related to an incident where my anti-virus detected a virus in the auto.inf file on a Fuji digital camera I had connected at the time and (right or wrong) I deleted the auto.inf file on the camera. I assume auto-inf is the auto-play program file so I'm not surprised that the Fuji doesn't show up any more but the problem is now generalised to all USB memory devices.
How can I re-install the auto.inf file on the camera and how can I jig my laptop to recognise external USB memory devices?
