USB Options Box Stopped Working

Dell Precision T3600 - Windows 7 Ultimate.
When I plug in any external drive into a USB port a pop-up box used to appear offering me options as to what I wanted to do with the device. For some reason this options box no longer appears.
I have also lost the automatic launch of both my Canon and Nikon photo transfer software when a camera is connected to USB and I now have to open these manually.
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to reactivate these please.
