dvd burner issues

[smokinjo1979]

windows vista 64 recognizes my plextor 716a ide dvd rw in my computer but when I try to use any of the windows apps to burn something it says no burner detected. I tried deleting the filters and it still did not work. Any solutions?

Sounds strange.
Does the Burner Read fine (as in does ur DVD RW Drive show up in My Computer ?)

or is it not recognized only by Burning app(s) ?

It shows up and works fiine in other apps just not the windows apps liike dvd maker and movie maker

 

[Asky]

try :
1)Computer
2)Right Click on ur DVD RW Drive - > Properties
3)Under Recording tab see if the "Enable CD/DVD Recording on this drive " is enabled.
If this doesnt work try finding a Driver (From Plextors website) for ur DVD RW.

does the drive work fine when you play a CD or DVD?

What version of windows are you using? (presuming Vista 64)

have you tried using third party burners? what result?

It plays cd's and movies fine, yes it is vista 64. I read something about a driver error that makes vista drivers think they are sata drives, so I rolled back my drivers and uninstalled my drives they both read ad ide now but windows media still does show I have a burner. There are no recording properties when I right click???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I can use nero to burn things just fine also

anyone else have this problem or is it jut me, I want to burn with windows dvd maker anyone

It sounds like the jmb363 problem for regualr vista I tried to do that fix and it wouldnt let me in vista 64
