Hi there jc honda,
I was wondering if you can try this for me.

Click on my computer. Right click on your dvd drive. Clcik properties. Click the tab that says "recording" and untick the box that says Enable CD recording on this drive. Click apply. The Put the check mark back there and click apply again, and reboot your pc and see if this solves your problem.

thank you for a fast response :-)

i tried what you said and when i try to burn with media player 10 , it tell me on right hand side of the players window 'the cdr drive is in use'

and a seperate window pops up asking me to imsert a blank cdr disk etc

Well then...Pesky CD roms lol.

I know you have done this but have you made sure that you are putting in a blank cd in?

And as I was reading other posts it looks like spybot helps with this issue..

Can be downloaded below.. Run it and see if the problem persist. If so we will have to get medievil on it :tongue:
