I have a DVDRW drive running Windows XP SP2. If I have a CD/dvd loaded when I
power up I am able to see the contents of the disk. If , however, I load the
disk after the machine is up and running, the disk appears to be blank. It
doesn't matter if it's a CD, DVD, writeable or not. I had a CDRW before and
that's when it started. I thought it was the drive so I upgraded to a DVDRW
but the problem remains the same.
 
Cut and paste everything between the lines and paste it into notepad. Save
the file as cdfix.reg and save it to the desktop. make sure you change the
save as type.... drop down box to all files. Once saved double click on the
file to merge it into the registry. Reboot.

Xp will not allow me to do this. I get an error message: Cannot import
cdfix.reg
The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary
registry
files from within the registry editor.

Did you use notepad and paste everything between the lines, not the lines
itself but between the lines?.

Hi,

correctly:

Please note that PCBUTTS1 is the poster of the above messages using my
NickName "Leythos". He posts from the above host, which you can validate
in the Usenet headers, since Microsoft deletes his posts from their
servers due to his lack of ethics, his theft of others code, and his
violations of their Usenet standards.

PCBUTTS1 does not post help unless he can cut/paste it or pilfer it from
another person, the fix he's posted is past of this Microsoft KB

This a forged post and not a post from Leythos.
Do we have a BUTTS wannabe or did PCBUTTS get booted from his isp?
He should be banned from the internet completely for his plagiarizing,
forging posts and complete lack of integrity. I am amazed the JPL
laboratories allows their name to be associated with such low life as
PCBUTTS. If he can be this down and dirty it makes you wonder how much he is
ripping off taxpayers on his real job. He seems to really enjoy getting
over on people here and probably carries this into his offline life.
Anyone that has nothing to hide does not pull the shenanigans PCBUTTS pulls.
They don't hide behind a forged alias, they don't change the names of
software developers and say they authored the software. Then when busted for
the theft, they take their web site to password protected. BUTTS is playing
a game and if you are a wannabe, there are much better role models to
wannabe than BUTTS. Like O.J. everyone knew he was guilty, he won the game,
but lost more than he won. No one wants to be OJ.
