wmp will rip but can't burn?
« on: January 31, 2008, 05:28:53 PM »
I have wmp11 and it has always worked, now I can only rip not burn.  Under the burn tab it says to connect a drive.  The burner works for other things.  Any ideas?  I did a disk defrag, could that have done anything?

Hi there

Is your CD drive shown in the 'devices' tab (Tools > options > devices)?

I found some help from some other forums like starting the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service, reinstalling the drive, reinstalling the IMAPI 1,5 driver, etc... but none worked.  Came across a further post in that thread were someone had recently downloaded some music software from MAGIX, this is what I have done also.  He got support from MAGIX and they have some reg fixes. http://download.magix.net/windows_2000_xp_registry_fix_uk.zip
Ran the two regs and rebooted. 
Problem solved! ;D
