Re: Connect a burner and restart the player ?

Hi agai Neil,
Read this KB, I dont really want to perform these registery mods as the
symptoms described do not match mine i.e. I can access the CD/DVD drive via
XP and all other programs; the problem is just with WMP11. In the top right
hand box when trying to burn, the message in the sbject box above is
displayed and cannot be refreshed or directed to look in the appropriate
place ?
So I am still at a loss. The music I want to burn is in DRM10 format, which
I am told is only burnable via WMP10 or 11 - so I am stuck. Unless someone
can recommend an alternative. Nero doesnt burn it.

Any further advice greatly appreciated - WinsorRob

OK that was the simple check. I'd now try these steps to see if you
can unwind whatever software has wrapped itself around your DVD drives

Hi Neil, thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortuanlty I dont have Roxio; but do use Nero burner - which works fine.
See Aquarian 2012, above this post has the same problem as me; and a number
of others. Seems it may be something from the WMP10 &11 releases; but no KB
fixes as yet ?
Any further help / suggestions welcome please - WinsorRob

I have a working CD/DVD on my laptop with WMP11; each time I try and burn a
track I get the above message.
With Nero and other programs, CD burning is fine.
I have tried most of the tips seen on the news group, to no avail.
The drive is set to record etc.
I see a few people have been having similar issues. I am at a loss as to why
WMP is not recognising the intergral drive.


If one of your other programs is by Roxio, try disabling drag-to-disc
service as noted here :
