Here's my issue. I've done two clean installs and the autoplay stops working the minute I grab the new windows update software. That's the craziest thing I've ever seen. I mean it's the update to actually use windows update, not the actual updates themselves. In other words, there is no way to avoid it. Does anyone have any ideas? This is just plain ridiculous. I'm running XP Home edition. I've tried all the regedit updates except deleting them all together, which makes me a little nervous and my other system XP Pro, has no problems with all values set at 91. So not sure why the issue with XP Home and the windows update software. Please help... MS why did you break my system with your update software!
