CD Burner broken
mistymage:
One thing you can also try is deleting your IDE channels drivers (if you have them).
To find them go to start->my computer->cd drive->properties->hardware and then properties again, drivers and uninstall them.
reboot and windows will reinstall them.
This is what I had to do to get my burner back. I have burned music and photos so far (they play back/can hear and see them just fine).. and am in the process of burning a back-up of my Grease DVD (which plays just fine on my pc). My Sonic burning program and CDBurnerXP are both broken through a missing .msi file but so far the 3 programs I dl'd for burning DVDs (DVDFab, DVD Shrink and BurnAware.. all from majorgeeks.com) are working.. once it finishes and I test it I'll add that info to this post.
Ok .. so I burned the disk.. and it worked almost perfectly. Almost because my pc is saying it is a blank disk and won't play it.. yet it will play on my other pc ??? Hmm.. guess I'll have to do some more digging around to see what the deal is and fix it.

I thought I'd ask before jumping to the OMG SECUROM conclusion.
The way I usually copy things to cd, is by simply dragging and dropping. I don't use/have Nero or anything. This has usually worked fine, except for today where I have got "Windows has encountered a problem". It's just a small pop up box with no details whatsoever about what the problem is.
Any ideas about what I should do? Is this the usual SecuRom practice? The only reason I haven't actually removed SecuRom yet is that I've had a problem with the RegDelNull download. I'm going to try the EAxis version of removal kit.
Is there any other reason my burner could be playing up like this?
Since no one else said anything. It could be that DLA is turned off. DLA is what makes it possible to drag and drop back and forth to your cd burner. It could be that SecuROM turned it off. SecuROM does not like DLA. DLA stands for Drive Letter Access or something or other, and it comes with Sonic Solutions. Many people have had to turn DLA off in order to use their drives with SecuROM. In your case, SecuROM probably turned it off for you. Isn't that nice of SecuROM? >:(
