Windows built-in burning issue

(1/3) > >>

Hello! This is Win7x86 I have purchased a new DVD drive, I see this [attached image] any idea how to let the Windows read the drive better than just a CD drive :undecided: by the way the Nero can read/write to this DVD drive, but Windows built-in burning feature is not working with it.  :thinking: Thanks!

I found another person who had the same problem

Figured it out. It's because I was using Remote Desktop to access the PC. Apparently when you use RDC it disables burning. I can't figure out why they would make it work that way (or how to change it). After physically logging into the PC it worked fine. The strange thing is that in the beginning when I was having this problem, I wasn't RDC'd into the computer at the time. After it started working again, I was using RDC and that's when it seemed like the problem reappeared.

Thanks for the help in any case everyone.

Are you logging into the system by remote desktop by chance?

No

My Repair CD/DVD in the windows repair does this, but try it manually, reboot after you make the changes. This was for XP but the keys are then same in every version of Windows since then :wink:
