Harsh, but very true!

Yes, but the drive still wont work until you reboot... might have to format soon...

you guys shud use xfire(.com)

people need to learn to read posts...

nope, its asif the drive shus down once it has either read or written a disk. Any kind of disk, in any program...

Vize is cool

interesting with Nero, will have a look at that. But this also happens wen its just reads from that drive, like a game cd or dvd movie.

As the title goes... I use the DVD writer which is a NEC 3520 Drive, and after either, burning, or reading a DVD it wont eject, the process is complete, but windows wont eject it, not even by manual button press. I have to reboot to eject the disc. I thought...drive maybe at fault, and seeming as DVD writers are cheap i got a new Pioneer DVR-111DSV. SAME problem... Any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

haha!!

LOL! that is funy!!!

just an idea, are you able to put it in another machine as a slave? boot to windows and see wat happpens?

could alwasy try the maxtor diagnostic tools, you can get it from maxtor.com

anyway, after having a bit of aplay last nite, I found that, no codecs would get rid of the problem. But I opened the Video folders, tried deleteing all videos, except some that were in another sub folder, deleted thos einstead, and the error went. Doesnt really make sense, as those were encoded the same way the first set of videos were...strange.

You mean you tried all suggested solutions (17,900 hits)? I had a good look through a lot of other forums, to no prevail. and No, i aint gonna look through 17,900 hits...would anyone? Gonna give these things a go tonight, will let you know wat i find.

i also totally agree with number one.

will give that a go. I have also found out that ActiveMovie is DirectShow...which is included in Direct X, so im gonna download the full SDK kit, and see if that helps.

already tried...no luck

Ok, got this weird problem, after re-installign XP, i get this error wen opening my folder with lots of videos in (attached image) it must be a codec problem i think I have tried loads of codec packs, DivX, K-Lite, and many more. I cant work out why in the hell thi smessage pops up wen i open the folder, if I click OK, its crashes and closes, cancel makes it freeze...any other ideas?

I do swimming, badminton and weights. Swimming is a good one, relaxes your body whiel exercising it as well.

Would be nice if you could find one that cheap, wed get them for the school! lol
