DVD drive issues after Vista conversion
It seems like I had a problem that many other did when i upgraded from XP to
Vista Home Premium, my DVD burner no longer worked (error code 39). To fix this I updated the regestry via the regedit command, deleting the lower and upper filters. Well, that seems to work for the most part. Now my computer recognizes the Drive and I can drag and drop files onto the drive to burn them. However the problem comes when I try to use the Windows DVD Maker. I add a WMV file, click next and then it just says that Windows DVD Maker has stopped working... Any suggestions of what I need to do to get it working. What happens if I try uninstalling it? will my computer recognize it the next time i reboot? |

DVD drive issues after Vista conversion
run4fun,
The condition you have can be caused by more than one possibility. Roxio and/or Nero have been known to cause this problem in some computers. Why this is I don't know. If you have either of these applications installed, try uninstalling it to see whether that solves the problem. If it does, then you likely will be looking for a replacement burning application. If that's the case, here are three other burning programs you can check Out: http://www.imgburn.com/ http://www.deepburner.com/ http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2 I found those burners on another forum where people there say these all work well with Vista. Each burner has a free version and a pay version. I've not tried any of them. Just something to try. You can reinstall your burner program if you find that removing it had no effect in fixing your situation. -- freddy "run4fun" wrote: It seems like I had a problem that many other did when i upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium, my DVD burner no longer worked (error code 39).

DVD drive issues after Vista conversion
I do have Roxio installed on my computer. If I uninstall it, and this isn't
the problem, how can I get it back? (It was one of the software packages that came on the computer.) I would hate to uninstall it, and then find that it still doesn't work. Thanks.

run4fun,
The vendor of your computer should be able to tell you how to get Roxio back after you uninstall it. You can always go with one of the alternatives. -- freddy "run4fun" wrote: I do have Roxio installed on my computer. If I uninstall it, and this isn't the problem, how can I get it back?
