dvd burner

[Guest]

My DVD drive is not working. The last thing I was able to install was a
Microsoft Lifecam VX-3000, which works fine. When I go to device manager it
shows that the burner is there and when I try to install updates it tells me
that I have the most current drivers for it, but when I click on my computer
it only shows my a:>drive(floppy) under devices with removable storage. No
sign of my dvd player. I am running vista ultimate.

Thanku Cal Bear '66'. I went to that link and followed the instructions
through regedit and deleted the upper and lower files from the dvd-cd
registry and now my dvd player is back. Now I have another problem. When I
try to copy disc in nero 7, just copy a movie that's already been copied,
when I click on burn or copy after setting up the burn speed, it comes up
with a message saying; "the specified path is invalid". This doesn't occur
when I burn a movie for the first time using the "Copy Entire DVD-Video"
option, only using the; "copy DVD" option. Any idea's?

Have you checked the Nero site for updates?

Are you running the latest Nero? Vista and Nero have had many issues..
check the Support or FAQ at Nero.

Yes Spirit i am running the latest everything but thankyou for your
suggestion. I have solved most of my nero problems now.
