Hello all I am a Newbie to afterdawn.
Here is my issue. I have a dvd burner and I have burned dvds before with it, but now when i put in a blank DVD+R it will just keep spining and never stops but when i put in a blank cd it will stop and I can burn that. I have burned dvds before. But now I cant. I did do an update with driver ver A091 but I still cant seem to burn DVDs anymore. I even disabled XP burning, and disabled the original CD burner that I dont use anymore, and cleaned up my registry. If anyone knows how to help or point me in the right direction , it WILL BE APPRECIATED
I uninstalled the Secondary drive and restarted, it loaded my dvdrw drive , my neccd burner. I put a blank DVD+R in and it just sit there and spins. I cant do anything when it does that. I have to eject the it to open stuff. I dont use the NEC burner anymore just my dvdrw burner when I burn stuff. Should I unlug the NEC CD burner? Could that be causing a conflict?
If you have been using the burner ok, then it's unlikely to be a conflict with the existing burner.
Did you install any new burning software prior to the problem showing.
Is it possible to do a use a recent System Restore Point that was set before the problem appeared.
Are there any error messages generated by Windows referring to the burner.
This link shows how to remove specific registry entries that refer to certain error messages thrown up by Windows.
I used it recently after a power hit when my optical drives no longer appeared under My Computer (there were no messages).
It says that any burning software (Nero, AnyDVD, ImgBurn, etc)be uninstalled first.
If you wish, you can create a restore point before removing the registry entries.
