ok I'm going to bump this cause I've tried this and it wont work.. it loads and just sits there like its thinking or something and then doesn't respond..it appears to be looking for the drive or one of them that I have installed but they are clearly there and installed correctly.

Suggestions? :confused:

Other burner software installed? History of lots of diff cd players/burners being "swapped out" instead of properly uninstalled from the operating system before removal?

This is all I use....have it on tons of various machines, been rock solid.

No other burner software installed, and I've had the same two NEC players/burners in the computer since I built it.

both are NEC drives...they work fine too, I can play a DVD or CD on them..they get picked up for games cause most require the disk to be in the drives. I'm running deamon tools but I don't think that has anything to do with it but I could be wrong.
