Windows XP CD-R Discs not recognised.

[tellboy]

After loads of problems (Blue Screens and Freeze Ups) with Roxio 8 Media Creator I bought Nero 7.

My Dell 9100 has a Philips DVD RW DVD8631 burner.

I now find that any data discs compiled with Roxio (now removed ) are not recognised by Nero or My Computer . It reports "no disc" or just hangs seeking it.

I have checked the burner has the latest firmware.

Am I going to have to install both of these bloated packages ?

Thanks

After you uninstalled Roxio, did you go through the register and make sure that there was nothing left over that the uninstall did not take out of it and delete it. Uninstall leaves garbage all over and at times, this can give you headaches.

Run CCleaner, careful you do not install Yahoo Toolbar, just un-tick the box ...

Go to Device Manager ... right-click your DVD RW and UN-install it ... reboot.
