Hi guys:
The program that I use for recording either DVDs or CDs is Roxio Classic, version 6. Normally, when I am going to record, after I load the video to record, the program asks for a blank disk (shows the following sentence: "PLEASE INSERT A BLANK DISK" and these letters are in red color, after you insert the blank disk, the sentence turns green and changes to something like: "READY TO BEGIN RECORDING"). The problem is that a day ago, is like something went wrong with this program, since IT DOES NOT RECOGNICE THAT YOU HAVE INSERTED A BLANK DISK (either a DVD or a CD). Otherwise, the DVD-CD player/recorder works just fine, it plays normal either CDs of DVDs. Other thing that is unusual with ROXIO is that now there is a sign that says: "DEFAULT RECORDER: NONE." Now as before, when I introduce the blank CD or DVD, in the icon (in MY COMPUTER) that represents the recorder (F in my case) when there is no disk, appears: "DVD RW DRIVE (F)," when you put a movie, appears the name of the movie, and when you put a blank DVD the sign changes to "CD DRIVE (F)" as usual. In other words, there, nothing has changed, the only change has appeared in ROXIO. When I go to the BIOS, I can see that the PC recognices the recorder (NEC) there as master. I suspect maybe a program that came with one of the DVDs that I played and that has intalled itself without me realizing, otherwise, I do not have other explanation, since I didn't made any changes to any setup or otherwise. In the other hand I don't go to the internet in this particular PC.
I'll be very grateful if somebody could give me a hint about what could be the problem. I'll be waiting with my fingers crossed for any replay in this regard. :>(
Thanks a lot.
Hi again:
Other thing that I had noticed is that when I put a CD in the NEC DVD/CD player, as always musicmatch became activated and begun to play the CD, BUT WITHOUT A SINGLE SOUND. You could see that the system was playing the CD, but not sound back. When I made it play with Windows Media Player, the sound came out just fine (weirth). Any way, I ended up solving both problems by chance. I went to MY COMPUTER, opened up, righted click the DVD player icon, chose PROPERTIES. In the tab named "AutoPlay," in ACTIONS I chose "Promp me each time to chose an action." The RESTORE DEFAULT button became actionable, I clicked on it, and VOILA, everything went back to normal.
I hope that this could help somebody in the future.
Cheers
