• Media Player 11 error: "connect burner and restart the player ' when trying to burn a CD

  Original title: Media player 11 on dell e510 in XP.

  When I try to burn a cd with media player, have a message 'connect burner and restart player' and burn is dimmed.  I have a sony crx310ee internal d ' training.  Media Player will play cd but does not recognize the burner.  Was able to burn with Roxio but uninstalled trying to get media player to work.  Have you tried to update the driver, but I'm told that nobody no more recent is (over 3 years).  Removed upper and lower filters.  Have not unhooked by car and restarted.  Do you have a regedit and changed the 3 to 2 Volume guid value.    This adds the record to the properties of the drive button.  Have run convenience store and it reports the device is not a burner, which is incorrect.

  Help!

  Yes!  Think my problem is resolved.  Had ignored a suggestion to uninstall the burner and reboot.  This seems to have solved the problem since I just burn a CD using media player.

• I can't burn my CD on Windows Media Player error "connect a burner and restart the player.

  I have a bunch of files music m4a songs bought on iTunes that are on the Windows Media Player. I insert a blank CD, and he refuses to burn the songs. I put it in my laptop, go to the option burn and it says "connect a burner and restart the player ' and doesn't read that there is a CD in there, even if there is. Even if I put all the songs I want in it, it won't work. I need help.

  No problem, at least it's a step forward that it is not only the media player.

  At this point if the CD-ROM drive does not at all, it could be a couple of things.

  1. First of all, just make sure under the folders under the view tab Options, that the "hide empty drives" is not selected. It could make your CD-ROM writer hidden just because there is no data in there at the moment.
  2. The drive appears not could also be that it is disconnected, but it's not terribly likely.
  3. Check Device Manager to see if the CD drive is listed, and if she has any warnings associated with it. You can open the Device Manager by performing a search in the search box of the start menu.  Locate the CD drive in the list, and then double-click it to view the status. He can say everything is fine, or can provide details on all issues.  Also, while you're here, you can check an updated driver. But this brings me to the next point...
  4. If the driver he is already up to date, it is interesting to watch your your model computer manufacturer Web site see if they have a newer version. Sometimes Device Manager detects outdated drivers and uses, when the manufacturer's website has something more recent.

• Burning CDs with Windows Media Player in Windows 7. "Error: connect a burner and restart the player.

  Original title: CD burning with Windows Media Player in Windows 7

  When I try to burn an audio CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message "connect a burner and restart the player.

  I am able to burn audio CDs using ITunes, so I don't think that my CD/DVD burner is defective.

  Thanks for your help.  The "fix it" has not worked, but I checked the settings of my Nero 8, Nero Toolkit, Nero Burn Rights program, and he was the one who said "everyone has burn rights" or "nobody burn rights.  When I changed the option to "everyone", everything started to work properly.

  Hello

  First, disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer, and then try to start and check what is happening. If the same happens, then you can try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

  Start your computer in safe mode

• Windows Media Player won't let me burn CD, "connect a burner and restart the player."

  I use to be able to copy CDs on my computer. Windows Media Player now, says "connect a burner, then restart the player."

  There must be something simple that I know, I'm just bad at computers :)

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as

• Can not burn the media "connect a burner and restart the player.

  I have a laptop Dell Latitude with windows 7 and WMP 12.  The two programs are underway.

  Until recently I could burn CDs without any problem.  Now, I get the message:

  I tried troubleshooting and remove/reinstall the readers of DVD-CD-ROM as suggested by the previous discussions on this issue.  None worked.

  What to do next?

• My WMP said that I need to connect a burner and restart the player?

  For long time now Ive been burning cd and just recently my WMP started getting a message saying I needed to connect a burner, and then restart the player. It goes the same for extraction, he said "A CD DRIVE IS NEEDED in order to RUN RIP". I don't know why he started to do this, he has never been a problem before. I have a laptop HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium. Is there anything I can do to restore or solve my dilemma? Advice or answers would be useful.

  Thank you

  Whenever I have shut down my computer (via Start menu / alt + f4) the computer off first and perform a restart immediately afterwarrds.

  Well, this is what happens ALL the time. My computer stops and restarts, until I am led the newspaper to the page. On the page (after ctrl + alt + del) to connect, I keep having the same problem after pressing the off button.

  Leave my computer running in locked mode (allowing my computer to heat and drain its battery)

  or

  Force a stop down by holding the power button down (damage my computer system - directed to a page (for running normal windows not start))
