Hello -
I resolved this problem before, about a year ago,
but this time this elusive tab has not returned.

It disappeared earlier today after I updated the
cdrw firmware.

The last time happened (also updating firmware) I seem to remember
tweaking this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD
Burning\Drives\Volume{3f0a94b0-1181-11d8-be5d-806d6172696f}]
"Drive Type"=dword:00000002
"CurrentCDWriteSpeed"=dword:ffffffff
"MaxCDWriteSpeed"=dword:00000030


However, it's already set - "drive type" 2 *is* a cdrw,
yet, the tab is not there.

I've tried setting imapi to automatic and to manual.
The service starts properly. When set to manual, it starts
as soon as Nero does (which I always thought was odd)

Still, the TAB in the device manager is AWOL.

Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Dave

Click to expand...
Sometimes XP is just exasperating.
Right clicking in Explorer, rather than device manger finally
revealed the recording tab. I clicked "NO" to disable recording,
closed the dialog box then clicked properties again. Once again it
was missing. I closed explorer and reopened and it's back.
Observations:
Sometimes in Explorer it says E: CD drive other times E: CDRW drive
The tab is still not showing up in the device mager - it used to.
