    Cd rw drive not burning
    « 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.

    What CD Burning software are you using? If none, that could be the problem.

      I have Nero from LG installed and have tried to "write these files to CD" Both unsuccessful.

      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.

      Check your configuration from within Nero to make sure that your drive is being seen correctly and DMA is active.

        When I click a music file and click add (in Nero) it says: out of memory


        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.

        Uninstall Nero, reboot and reinstall it. That can help without delving into the intricacies of "making it work".

          Uninstalled...reinstalled Same messages

          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'm having a similar problem with my computer. 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.

            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.
