I don't know what has changed.

I used dvddcrypter last week, no problem.

I put a dvd in today and i get this in the statusbar:

Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)

So I went to Explorer to look at it. It is recognized only
as a CD drive.

I downloaded DVD Identifier and ran it and got this:

ERROR : Unable to Intililize Disc : Not ready - Medium not present [02/3A/00]

Problem is with all DVDs

TIA

Try going to the device manager, find your dvd rom/burner there, and right click on it. Then click on uninstall. After it has uninstalled, reboot, and let Windows detect new hardware, and reinstall it for you. This will fix a lot of similar problems, but can't promise it will fix your's. Shouldn't hurt anything though, to try it.
Good luck!

Let us know how it goes?
