LG GH22 combo Internal DVD re writer

[amok2]

the original drive failed on my PC and I installed a new LG GH22 internal
drive this afternoon. On booting up I got an indicator telling me that new
hardware had been found. I inserted a DVD and the player worked but my
question is do I need to update the drivers for this hardware ( old player
was DVD ROM). If I do, which website should I use ( tried looking on LG site
was not much help)

You don't need specific drivers for this drive. There may be updated
firmware at LG's website.

If you got an included CD with this drive, you should have the LG ODD
firmware auto-update program. It gets installed when you install the
Cyberlink software.

I did mail LG and was told that any drivers would have to come from MS.

However, the drive did come with software ( a product called Nero) which
when I try to install says I need to upgrade my XP software to install
Directx 9.0c . I looked on the MS website and leant that this software cannot
be removed once loaded and I would need to create a restore point before
loading.

Should I install DirectX 9, what are the pros and cons ?

that is weird. when I checked the version of Direct X I had installed , I
already have Directx 9 , any ideads why Nero would not recognise that I have
version 9 ?

Nero requires the most current DirectX 9.0c (delivered usually with
SP2) and some of the .Net Frameworks (not sure which versions.)

NOTE: The .Net Framework versions are not cumulative. Each version
is a separate version.
