his driving me NUTS!
I have had a PC since 1981 and do hardware
and software consulting in my retired
years; BUT, I cannot solve my own problem!
It all started when I built a new computer
and loaded XP-Pro on both the new computer
and the old one (Dell Dimension 8100, a
clean install on a reformatted Hard Drive.
Computer is now my file server.)
Since then,I cannot get EITHER system to
recognize the TWO (2) CD/DVDs installed in
each system.
I have UNINSTALLED anything that writes to
a DVD/cd EXCEPT Windows Media Center.
I have removed ALL “Apple Related”
software.
I have tried changing Registry entries to
indicate that the drive can write; gotten
rid of the upper and lower filters, etc.,
etc., etc.
In fact, I have tried evry different fix I
can find on the Web and on all the Tech
sites I belong to (e.g., Tech Republic,
ExpertsXchange, etc.).
I have NO CLUE where to go from here!
HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!
HELP! HELP!
Thanks in advance
Bob
