• Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

  I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc. Vista will open the media on a CD - R, DVD, and CD - RW, which is what I use.  Vista will not write on a CD - RW disc, sending the files on the drive, pop - up Vista says "insert writable disc in the drive", or he'll want to format the drive, formatting always fails; I removed the filter upper and lower; I used MR. FixIt, and she came back with "media in the CD/DVD drive is not writable '; the disks are writable, but they are not recognized by Vista in writing. Here are the nine on box Maxell CD - RW discs. I have no problem with vista, write files to a CD - R or a DVD to burn. Windows Media Player will burn music to these CD - RW discs. How can I get Vista to recognize a CD - RW as a recordable disc?

• CD/DVD RW drive bed but will not write...

  I use Windows XP and use the disk drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7530A. Under "Properties" is the State of the device "working properly" and he plays both CDs and DVDs. However, it will not write. I tried several software programs, including windows Media Player. When I right click on the driver, there is a recording tab.

  The drive appears to work at first, but it can progress remains at 0% and the drive will continue as he does something, but it's not. If I try to cancel the burning using buttons in the software, nothing will happen. It will freeze my computer. The Task Manager will not work, and my only option is to keep the off button on the laptop until it dies. When I turn it back on, a small window pops up saying files are waiting to be transferred to disk, click on the bubble to continue (or something like that). If I click on it, then I see the blue screen of death and the computer shuts down.
  He also seems to have done something for my Explorer, it freezes too (I'm on Safari now)

• My DVDRW DRIVE will not write to disk

  My DVD - RW drive will not write to disk, it is only recognized on my computer as a DVD ROM and CD - ROM only. I looked in Device Manager and there is no question mark by it and he says it's working properly, I had it works normally about 2 weeks ago, can you help me? L.M.Baggley

  If it worked about two weeks ago, you could try a restore point to return the parameters of your system they had previously, by using the system restore. It is in the startmenu, all programs, system, SYSTEM RESTORE tools. Choose a point of older and not the most recent. Alternatively, right - click the icon for your drive and make sure that the recording tab is there, and that registration is enabled on the computer. You will also find it better if you record at a slower speed and not the faster if you want to avoid reading errors. "THE BEST THING TO DO IN THIS WORLD IS A WRONG ANSWER! "I"DON'T"WINDOWS...". »

• PSE 13 Win 8.1 will not be installed, "detects the computer restarts" even after the computer restarts

  PSE 13 Win 8.1 will not, install "detects the computer required restarting" even after restarting the computer.

  The Mac version has installed fine on my desktop.  I now want to put the PC version on my laptop.

  Problem solved.  Seems to have been a combination of HP Support Assistant, eager to check updates and Avast2015 are not satisfied with some aspects of the installation.  Ended up uninstalling Avast, installation of PSE 13 and then re - install Avast.

• Satellite P30 - DVD-RAM drive will not write DVD

  I have a Satellite P30 - 145 running XP Home Edition with a carpet * a reader of DVD-RAM UJ - 831S. I am able to read and write CDs and read DVDs, but am unable to write DVD. In 'My Computer', the drive is marked as a DVD - RAM drive, but if I insert a DVD r or DVD R, the label changes to CD drive, and I am not able to format the drive, I just inserted.
  Clues as to what is happening and what I can do about it?

  Hello

  Since when is this problem here? Is your unit pre-installed with your own operating system or with the recovery image? DVD - RAM Driver Software V3.1.0.0 is also pre-installed correctly? Burning application you are using?

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, reboot the device and check if the drive is recognized correctly again. As far as I know that your device comes with fixed burner DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) and you should be able to create all formats.

  What is DVD format?

• File object property will not write as digital 0 in TS 4.1.1

  Hey everybody,

  So, I came across a weird problem and I was wondering if it was a 'feature', or if I'm missing something.

  Basically when I write a digital 0 to a file property object, using the Write method of the API, it doesn't seem to be written.  I enclose a simple example of what I want to accomplish.  Here are the steps of reproduction:

  1 - Open the movie file in TS 4.1.1

  2. run the sequence

  3 ignore the error the first time, it appears up... it has to first create the file.

  4. insert any value other than 0

  5 - run the new order (shouldn't get an error this time)

  6 see if the returned value is the same as that in which you initially set

  7-type 0 as the new value

  8. run again the sequence (no still no error... assuming you did it right)

  9. see if the returned value is 0. If you see what I see that it is not 0, this will be your original value.

  Any thoughts are appreciated.

  Thank you

  Jigg,

  If you use the ReadWriteOption RWOption_EraseExistingObject or RWOption_EraseAll when writing to the file, you will get the behavior, you need.

  The cause belongs to two.

  (1) one who is to minimize the consumption of storage space and files and to maximize speed, TestStand generally does not write default values. When reading in a file, if the value does not exist, it is assumed to be the default value.

  (2) without the readwrite Erase options, when you write to an existing file, it just adds new information to the file and does not delete the old information. For example, without erasing it would also leave previous subproperties writes to the file too.

  It is a reasonable argument to make that when you write a property with a default value, a default value already stored in the file should be deleted. I'll save this issue for future investigation, however, you really should be using one of the options delete anyway as I doubt you want to subproperties of previous writing be kept in the file either.

  Hope this helps,

  -Doug

  I am trying to download the Windows Vista service pack 2 and the download seems to download under the ussual mannor, but I get the message "data are not valid. In addition, it seems that download says it's over when it has only downloaded about 50 KB.
