Yet another cannot write to CD/DVD

[Guest]

I have an HP DVD740 as well as a Panasonic LF-D-103 DVD RAM drive, neither
drive will allow me to write to media, they have no issues reading a CD or DVD
Both of these drives worked in XP

I seen other people suggest using Nero... why should I have to use something
else when Vista itself should be able to handle the basic function?

I had the same problem first time I installed - installed Roxio and it started
working fine - there is apparently a registry setting regarding high and low
filters that need to be modified - Google it.
