Hi Paul (pgregory9) Here's a very different approach you might like to try. I cannot test the following. I don't have a Kodak camera (Nikon here) nor your software, nor the time or motivation. My ignorant guess: there is a 10% chance that exploring these ideas will lead to a dead end; a 90% chance that you will find a solution which will respond much faster (and more reliably ?) to the camera's arrival on the USB, by changing the OS's setting for which Autoplay Handler to use, instead of using PowerPro to watch for a window produced by your current autoplay handler.
Of course there's no need to bother if any of the earlier suggestions have proved satisfactory. The idea is: There's no need to get PowerPro to monitor anything because the Windows OS is already monitoring for the arrival of removeable media. The OS already has a response to the "removeable media event" of your camera arriving on the USB. You can change that response - in the OS, not in PP. Autoplay responses can be customised. This is similar to how file associations can be changed (though the settings are kept in a different place in the registry). The default response to something arriving on drive F: has already been changed once. Before you installed the Kodak software, a camera arriving on the USB would have triggered one of the standard MS autoplay handlers. Kodak first registered a new autoplay handler, then associated that handler with the camera-on-USB event. There is a page in MS TweakUI for WinXP for Autoplay. Here you can [step A] create a new autoplay handler. Then [step B] choose that new handler as the default for media containing images arriving at F: I know there is a friendly OS GUI dialog for doing this. Can't remember where. In a control panel applet or similar place. Maybe attach your camera, so that drive F: exists, then right click on drive F: in explorer ... Properties, Autoplay. Your current handler is an exe (KodakCSS.exe or cam2pc.exe I guess from your messages). No need to uninstall that handler. It will still be available but not actually applied to any USB event. First make a script called CameraAutoplay.powerpro. I assume you installed PP properly so that .powerpro files are associated to run as a PowerPro script. Then create a new autoplay handler called myCameraAutoplayer or whatever, which points to the script instead of to an exe. Then in the properties for F:, Autoplay, choose the home made handler instead of the Kodak handler. You might wish to include the command which is in the Kodak handler as a line in your script, plus any other commands you want. Then in effect you would be "hooking" the current response. ---------------------------------------------------- Tell us the result if you try the above Alan M ------------------------ Yahoo!
