but i didnt find such thing. . .ill try that! thank you sensei! oh and ill probably post some nice physics for you l8r on XD im starting unit 7 with electrodynamics

downloaded the one that says drive. . and exe one and still it doesnt work. . .ill try all of them since that computer si fucked up anways XD

o_O Don't run all the regfixes! Well, it shouldn't kill anything since all it does is restore system defaults, but it is still bad practice to run stuff before you know what it does, and even worse to run stuff when you know it won't work (but still do it anyway, 'on the off-chance that a miracle happens').

Like I said, all you need for now is probably the Folder Association Fix. If that doesn't work, then it's time to figure out something else.

I've got no time to answer more physics questions :P I'm barely keeping up with my own final-year project, and I still have to figure out how to generate a new grid for this simulation...

Problem solved.

Windows 7 still uses the registry, no surprise since Vista did as well. That's hardly a solution; one might as well reformat XP.

I've never heard of a problem like this happening outside of XP, though, which was my point.

Windows 7 disabled autorun for non-read-only devices.

The problem isn't an autorun issue. It's a default application issue. The problem is this: the operating system doesn't use the shell.dll file to open drives but a new executable that replicates itself to other drives.

Try the solution I posted.

there is no autorun.ini anywhere. . .as I mentioned I tried looking for it but never found it.

I tried the ones i told you, rebooted, nothing happened, i downloaded all of them and clicked on them, rebooted. . . nothing

as previously mentioned I went into tools/folder options/ file types > drives > advance > "create" {open using windows explorer.exe} set as default. close . apply.

nothing!

btw
what cha working on?

my final is a nice handy dandy multi stage coil gun that consists of coils with their respective capacitor banks and a couple of light sensors in between. . . .use your imagination for the rest ;D

psyren:
Perhaps you should read what people post more carefully ::)
There is no autorun.ini. It's autoexec.bat. Deleting it will most likely screw something up.

Do a system repair.
