Title: Cd rw drive not burning
Post by: Kelly on October 12, 2005, 08:24:30 AM: This is a fairly new unit, I don't believe that it has ever burned anything.

I went to the drive's properties and went to the Recording tab and the "enable CD recording" was checked. I tried to install new drivers, but was told I had the latest drivers.

DEVICE PROPERTIES

Manufacturer: (Standard CD-ROM drives)
It is a 52x32x52x LG Compact Disc Rewritable

Location: 0(0)

Device Status: This device is working properly.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am familiar with burning as I have 2 other computers, but have not had this happen before to them.

Running Xp Home on all.

And to reopen after it freezes after I (ctrl + alt + del)
I open and it says "another application is currently using the windows buring engine (IMAPI) Please quit... blah, blah, blah.

I think the problem may lie here:

Open My computer...reads: CD drive (D): with an icon that reads CD-R, SHould the part that reads CD drive (D): Read: CD-R Drive?

I too have Nero and I have been able to copy CD's ok but all of a sudden it has stopped working, it prepares the CD for burning but when I put a blank one it, it will not do anything. I'm really stuck and don't know what to do.

Post by: Kelly on October 14, 2005, 02:12:01 PM: If I uninstall Nero...could I just copy the desired files to the file then click "write these files to CD"? By doing this now WMP pops up.
