stephan_mc,
OK, you have eliminated that possibility. Another question: do you have any 3rd party burner programs installed, like Roxio or Nero? Some versions of those applications have been known to cause the condition that you have. -- freddy "stephan_mc" wrote: sorry, there is no connection, because the wmp closed and the audio devices are correctly installed (creatvie sb audigy 2). it doesn't help...

my dvd drive to work before that. i don't understand, why the vista dvd is recognised, but not the rest. "freddy" wrote: stephan_mc, OK, you have eliminated that possibility.

dvd problem under vista
stephan_mc,
Well, I don't know either what the problem is. I can only suggest some steps that may or may not take care of the issue. Since the drive works with the Vista DVD, it's obviously working. Here are some things to try: In Device Manager, review the Properties of the drive to confirm that Vista shows it to be functioning properly. Note any indications of a problem. If it appears to be working properly, right click the drive and select uninstall. For that to take effect, Windows must reboot. The idea here is that when Windows boots, it will reinstall the drive and fix any problems. Consider a cleaner disk for cleaning the laser pickups in the drive. This may be a long shot, especially if the drive was functioning before the installation of Vista. However, it's best to cover all possibilities. Vista records errors in a report. Review the report: Start All Programs Maintenance Problem Reports and Solutions. Peruse the report to note any errors and focus on any suggested corrective action to take. Place a disk in the drive, and then use Windows Explorer (Start Accessories) to see whether you can access the drive. Note any errors given when you do this. Check Disk Management (right click Computer, formerly My Computer, and select Manage, and then select Disk Management. Confirm that the drive appears in Disk Management and is assigned a drive letter. If it has no drive letter, you can assign one. Consider replacing the drive. I see no reason why it doesn't work. Others may have additional ideas. Post back on results. -- freddy "stephan_mc" wrote: no, not yet. i wanted to install nero, but until now i cancelled it. i want my dvd drive to work before that. i don't understand, why the vista dvd is recognised, but not the rest.
