Why doesn't Windows recognise my DVD burner?
Hi folks,
I have a Liteon SHM-165P6S DVD-RW device and I can write discs with 3rd-party tools such as DeepBurner, but Vista doesn't recognise its burning capabilities. For example, the 'DVD Burner' list in DVD Maker is empty. Any ideas why this may be? How can I resolve this lack of Windows functionality? cheers, Ben |

just a guess but one might think that Vista does not have the necessary
drivers to recognize your drive. On the other hand the 3rd party software does. "Ben" wrote in message ...

If it's already selected, unselect it, click apply and ok, then select it gain and click apply and ok. By the way, if it's not selected and selecting it resolves the issue, you may have to unselect it to get all the functions of your third party software to work again. -- Michael Solomon |

Hi Michael,
When viewing the Drive properties there is no Recording tab. When viewing that device there are four tabs: - General - Hardware - Sharing - Customize When viewing the hardware properties there are five tabs: - General - DVD Region - Volumes - Driver - Details cheers, Ben "Michael Solomon" wrote in message ...

I don't have a Vista setup running right now and I thought when I had done it I had done so the same as I had in XP. Try this, go to Vista help and use Enable CD Recording as your search topic and see if that brings up the steps to do it. Based on the symptoms you described, it sounds as though recording isn't enabled on that drive but since I don't have my setup running, I cannot give you the exact steps. -- Michael Solomon |

Why doesn't Windows recognise my DVD burner?
Resolved! FYI I uninstalled the JMB363 device and allowed Windows to find
drivers online. After installation Device Manager featured an IDE ATA/ATAPI controller, which was hosting my DVD-RW. Windows is now able to use the burner as it should. :-) thanks to those who helped here. cheers, Ben "Ben" wrote in message ...
