XP keeps forgetting things
« on: May 29, 2003, 12:50:07 PM »
A while ago, my XP install kept forgetting things. For instance, if I pluged my DV camcorder in, a box would come up with a suggestion as to which program to open, or you can choose to not open a program and not get asked again. Well, you check the box about not being reminded but if you unpluged the camera and pluged it in again, you got the same thing again.
The other strange thing is that it kept accessing the floppy drive at the welcome screen.

I re-installed XP recently and all was OK. now, for no reason I can think of, both those problems have started again. I haven't even installed any apps that I can think of that would do this.

Does anyone have any ideas or know of any microsoft articles about it? I can't find any, but I'm not sure what words to search for.
Many thanks.
