Autoplay K Drive Pop Up

Hi there. I'm running XP full and every 15 minutes or so the Autoplay K Drive Media window pops up for no apparent reason (not even inserting a USB Drive, or anything) it just pops up and asks what media file I want to open. Is there an easy fix to this, I'm dumb about such things. Thanks

Well thats a strange problem that I've never heard of especially if you don't have 
a K drive.

I had a problem that both of my DVD writers wouldn't autorun any CD/DVD. I didn't 
a search on M$ and found a link for additions for WinXP. In there there is an Autoplay 
Repair Wizard

. Click on the Results for: 40 at the bottom.

Now the strange thing with this app is it will only fix one drive at a time. You 
have to do a restart before you can attempt to fix any other drive letter, it fixed 
my problem anyway. You can disable drive letters as well.

Thanks Keith - I do have a K drive, it's a storage drive for all my media files.
