Highlight each one in turn, right click and delete them. Close regedit and restart computer. "Jdr" wrote in message ... Well, I've lost my CD drive completely. They vanished from "Computer". They're recognized by OS and being seen at the start, but are NOT shown in the "Computer" window.... It happened after I tried to uninstall Nero 6., which is incompatible with Vista Beta 2. Now, I cannot find any fix for it. "Eric G. van der Paardt" wrote in message ... I'm having some issues with writing CD and/or DVDs. It seems that after a cold boot, whatever media I put in the drive first 'locks' that drive to that media type. For example, I boot up burn a cdr... after that my machine will not burn a DVD until I reboot... and vice-versa. It also will not read the other media type... I boot up play a DVD, I then can not read a CDR. I have a sneaky suspicion that this is being caused by Nero, but I haven't yet tried uninstalled that most loved application (I'll try that this afternoon and report back). I just was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues. TIA E Machine Specs Vista Beta (of course) Clean install.
