Hi,
I have a DELL 5150 inspiron and for some reason i can no longer burn dvd's?? I have a single drive.
Maxtor 7L250S0
HL-DT-DT DVD+-RW GWA4164B
The location for both drives are both (0)
I have used convertxtodvd and the error message is something like another program is accessing the device.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jump to PostAw, Terry, I'd help if I had a clue... but i don't have anything original. I guess you have checked the infamous filters in registry .. all I can offer is that you try to kill any non-Windows process that could be using that burner [a start is Task Manager]; …
Any ideas guys?
Cheers
Bump
What happened to this once great, helpful site??
Aw, Terry, I'd help if I had a clue... but i don't have anything original. I guess you have checked the infamous filters in registry .. all I can offer is that you try to kill any non-Windows process that could be using that burner [a start is Task Manager]; sometimes you must use something like Unlocker. Check also using a start-up tracker like the one in Hijackthis [Misc Tools section] to see what program that uses the burner is starting its drivers unbidden.
