DVD/CD - DVD quite working but CD still works after Vista Install
Since installing Vista, I have lost the functionality of using the DVD
portion of my DVD/CD writer. It's an HP Media Center desktop, model m7334n. It used to work and I have burned DVDs when I ran XP. Now when I click on burn, I get the message, "Insert a disc", but it never goes any further. I've tried the recommendation to delete filters, but I renamed LowFilters to OLDLowFilters and had no HighFilters entry under the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} That didn't make any difference, even after a reboot. I have the current drivers and am running out of things to try. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this problem. I can read a CD but not DVD. I was using Windows DVD Maker when trying to burn pictures to a DVD, or double clicking on DVD/CD in My Computer works for CD but displays "Insert a disc" message when I insert a DVD. Thanks for your help in advance, Paul |

DVD/CD - DVD quite working but CD still works after Vista Inst
RC, I kept going down the route of some software bug since I installed Vista
and didn't think about it actually being a heardware problem. I did some more tests with the 2nd drive reading DVDs, etc and determined you were probably right. I dought a new drive, installed it, and everything works great. Thanks for the idea, Paul "R. C. White" wrote: Hi, Paul. It might be a hardware problem. The DVD laser might have died. :( That's what happened to my burner a year or two ago, but in reverse. The DVD still worked but the CD laser did not. So I handed it down to my son who already had a CD but not a DVD - and got myself a new one. ;) RC -- R. C.
