oafc_ok Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I have just had a message come up on my screen to say updates have been made and I need to restart. I have done this but now every ten seconds a window appears on the screen then disappears a couple of seconds later. It says 'Autoplay' and has a picture of a torch along with a status bar with green dots flashing across it. There is a cancel button which I have clicked but it re-appears whether or not I click it. It's not slowing anything down but it's a little bit annoying, as you can imagine. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Other than throwing my monitor out of the window, which I have already considered. Thanks Quote
Matt Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I've not heard this one before - very strange! What have you got in your optical drives? Have you any USB devices plugged in like a camera, memory stick or mp3 player? Run Ccleaner on the registry, and use ccleaner to clean out the junk. Empty you optical drives, unplug said USB devices and restart. Quote

Guest sheridans_world Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Yea, have you had an error with your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM? Thats the only thing i can think of. Other than that try your system error logs and google the error codes? Quote
oafc_ok Posted June 16, 2007 Author Posted June 16, 2007 Thanks for the advice everyone - I have only just got round to reading it but the problem has now stopped. It looks like switching the computer off then back on again has solved it. Quote
