Hi there,

Before installing Alcohol 120%, I was both playing and copying(using RecordNowDx software) without any problems. Once I installed Alcohol 120% I had problems with recording disks therefore I unstalled it. This uninstallation meant that I am no longer able to open any disks in the CD-RW/DVD COMBO DRIVE. Please note that the drive does appear in the My Computer menu of my WinXP however double clicking it when a working CD is put in shows that the CD is blank (have tried several different CD's).

I have tried to reinstall Alcohol 120%, and also deleted the drive and restarted to let windows redetect it, but still no luck.

Please can someone guide me as to how this issue can be resolved.

Thank You,
Umer.

I have also notice a change in the way may
computer works after installing alcohol 120%
I originally downloaded alcohol to backup my ps2 games.
Alcohol 120% is a great product for ps2 backups. For me it has 100 percent success rate never a bad ps2 burn, but
I also rip dvd's to VCD & SVCD using DVD2AVI and
tmpgenc. All was good before I installed alcohol 120%
After I installed alcohol most of the movies(dvd)
i rip to mpeg 1 using TMPGEnc have the audio and video out of sych by about 3 to 10 seconds.
I think this is my problem because most of the time I
have this problem ripping dvd's to VCD is after I have backup a ps2 game. SO I feel you pain with Alcohol 120%, but i can't bring myself to delete the application because it does a great job of backing up ps2 games. So for now I just have to reboot about
6 to 7 times before my other applications on my pc
return to normal. and what's up with the three disk
drives in alcohol when I only have two.

I have every application that you both have and I use XP Pro with no problem. When I have a conflict involving anything to do with cds being detected or burning improperly, I always first unistall any packet writing software that is included with burning software packages such as Nero's InCd (keep nero). The net is choked with information about conflicts created by InCd and other packet writing software. If you aren't using Nero then you are probably using an equivalent by a competitor. If you have more than one packet writing software installed then you are asking for trouble. Could be a stretch but worth trying.

Techville, my copy of Alcohol 120% is fully licensed. If you enjoyed the trial version then buy it and then you can discuss it on line in good conscience.
