I have a Lite on dvdrw shw 1635S
Just recently it stopped working.
I have tried everything I can think of when it comes to the software part. Meaning, I have un-installed and re-installed the drivers.
I tried downloading and updating the firmware but I get an error stating that no matching drive detected! And that it is intended for the Lite On model I have installed. Weird that it doesn't see that DVD drive that Windows says is installed and working properly.
Also, when I try and burn a dvd using either Shrink or Nero, the burn process goes all the way to the very part where it prompts me for a blank disc, I put one in the tray and then it doesn't see it; it just keeps on looking. So, what do you think could be the problem? Is my drive shot? Oh, I also tried doing a Roxio Zapp, which seemed to have operated fine, but didn't fix the problem.
thanks ,
frustrated
Ok, so I went and bought an LGdvd-rw and it installed fine.
However, it did NOT solve my problem.
None of my burning software recognize my burner.
I am starting to think that it is a software setting or something.
Could it be a virus?
any help is appreciated Please
yes, at first Windows wanted to install a generic driver but I
used the disc that came with the burner.
I saw no errors when installing the driver from disc.
There was even a program on the driver disc called cyberlink producer and it didn't see the new burner.
what do you think?
Sorry, I was just saying that even the software that came with
the burner is not working.
I am using Windows XP SP3
Oh, I also got the warning from iTunes that the registry settings for the burning part of their software was missing and suggested I re-install iTunes. After I did, I got the same warning.
Just to let you know that after i re-installed Windows
that everything was good. Pain in the arse to back-up
and re-install all my programs BUT totally worth it.
My puter was driving me crazy.
thanks again for your help.
take it easy
