DVD drives unstable and / or crash the system since Vista upgrade
I haven't seen this problem in any of the other posts.
I was able to fix most Vista problems after the upgrade to home premium from XP, but a big one remains: Both of my DVD drives will either make the system unstable and crash, eventually causing me to have to turn the power off to reboot, or go to a blue screen for an immediate crash when I put just about any disc in either drive (including Microsoft). However, it will play factory DVDS and I was able to use the drives for Roxio DVD creation (version 9 of Easy Media creator, which has Vista drivers). I know that everyone is thinking that the problem might be with Roxio / Sonic old drivers, but I covered that. I called HP, my computer's manufacturer, and they thought it might be the DLA driver. I got guidance from Roxio and virtually removed all Roxio / Sonic program and drivers from my system, indcluding the registry, no luck. Still the same problems. I even upgraded my DVD drives (I had planned to do that anyway), currently I have HP dvd 1040i in both bays. Still the same Any thoughts or experience? Thanks in advace -- amydad |
