cd/dvd burning issue

lricci6281 · 07-11-2008, 06:45 PM

I have a cd burner and a dvd burner installed. Recently they both quit wanting to burn. In properties the recording tab is missing from both drives. Runnin xp, im wondering if its a service. The IMAPI cd burning com service is set to auto but its not running. When I try to start it it says "Could not start the IMAPI cd burning com service on local computer
Error 5: Access is denied."
Yes, im on my admin account. The drives will read just fine, but no burning. Right clicking in my computer shows the disk is full although its blank. Dragging pics to the cd drive and trying to burn says d:/ is not accessible. I can run the burning wizard on the dvd drive but it wont recognize a blank disk, says please insert disk no matter what. Im lost.

didnt do anything. I didnt uninstall anything before the problem started. I have nero 8 and roxio easy dvd copy 4. i uninstalled those one at a time with no difference then reinstalled them both one at a time with no difference. also in my computer it lists the cd drive as CD-RW drive, which is what it is. but when i pop in a blank disc, it show as a CD drive. same goes for my DVD drive, when i pop in a blank disc it says its a CD Drive.

uninstall all the burning software at the same time and reinstall after checking the filters for removal again while logged on as admin not as a user with admin priviledges
