DVD for 64 bit vista? (do any even exist?
Hi, I just learned that my DVD writer is having compatibility problems
with 64 Vista SP 1. What it can do: play music CDs install programs What it can't do: rip mp3s from music burn DVDs. I have a LH-20A1L with SATA connections. http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?...05&Item id=67 (I downloaded the latest firmware dated March 2008). First, I thought CD/DVD writers had generic drivers. Am I wrong? Finally I looked at the Windows vista compatibility tool, selected 64 bit and saw absolutely not a single DVD RW writer that supported 64 bit Vista. Could this be possible? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...%2f%20DVD%2fRW Robert Nagle idiotprogrammer Houston, TX |

DVD for 64 bit vista? (do any even exist?
Not exactly, I posted a general question about 9 months ago before I
bought any equipment. This time I am asking about why my DVD writer doesn't work (also to point out the amazing fact that the Vista Hardware Compatibility database shows 0 DVD writers with confirmed support for 64 bit vista. In the previous post I asked if SATA HD needed special drivers, and the answer was that they did not. Now my situation is: If SATA DVD Writers don't require special drivers, what would be a reason why they wouldn't work in 64 bit Vista? Also, is there a more reliable source of what DVD writers are 64 friendly? rj |
