CD Burner

[Chad]

Ok, I've posted this before with no solution provided.
Here it goes again....

I have narrowed down my problem to be with the Windows XP
OS. When I have my CD Burner plugged in, XP will not
recognize it. Yes, it is supposed to be compatible
(Yamaha 3200 EZ). I have uninstalled my Nero software,
so the problem is not there.

When I open XP in safe mode, the CD Rom and Burner are
both recognized in the BIOS and on my desktop. But I
can't get any further from there.

I have found support in adjusting the regedit, did that,
no solution. I have checked the Matrox video card driver
for updated version, problem not there. I have purchased
a new CD burner, problem still not solved.

I will offer a reward of undying gratitude if someone can
provide that magic answer!

Where are you expecting this device to show up "on your desktop?" Do
you mean it doesn't appear at all in Windows Explorer or My Computer?
Or do you mean that it is not being recognized as a burner? If the
latter, see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q316529 (or is
that what you meant by "adjusting the regedit"?).

Chad,

Try waiting a little longer than five hours before reposting. Most
people here may check this group once/day. Impatience is not highly
regarded here, and seldom rewarded.
