Hi
Download & run BUSTRACE.
Then Click on Clipboard.
Then to post info.
Start as normal, but in the post window, right click & then click paste.
Then submit post.

What was Dell's solution for the previous times?

[darita]

OK. I see the Filter Driver Load Order. . Clipboard is unavailable to me to click on. What now?

[darita]

I'm by far, not an expert, but I believe Dell's last solution was to reinstall the drivers for the device. Just to let you know, this has been going on for months. I've called at least 5 times on this same issue.

I'm just confused... surely you don't expect him to purchase a $1,100 program?!?

Refer to the images below:

(1) Run Filter Driver Load Order
(2) Place the mouse over one of your DVD drives and click. The Clipboard button will no longer be greyed out.



(3) Click on the Clipboard button



(4) Reply with a new post and in your message paste what is in your clipboard from the Filter Driver Load Order program.

I assumed he meant to get the freeware program Filter Driver Load Order v1.0.009 that busTRACE offers for download. zebadee mentioned that in his initial post.

Thanks for the help. I really am computer challenged. I hope this is the info you need.

Your filters look fine.

1. Do you have a commercial dvd movie in any of your drives? If not, put one in.

2. Click the fox icon on your toolbar. click "default". Click "ok".

3. Uninstall your drives from device manager. Reboot

4. Try different cables on the back of your drives

5. If you have non-sata drives, ensure DMA is enabled: click http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...31&postcount=6

And if that doesn't work, then unfortunately, I'm out of suggestions at this time. I have Vista 64 bit ultimate at home, and Anydvd works perfectly fine on it with numerous SATA and PATA burners; I find myself unable to reproduce your issue.

Hi
Nope.......
The 1st link is a free download.
The 2nd link main page area, shows an overview of that program.

Ah, you said to download and run "Bustrace," which as a program is available but not freeware.

darita, is your DVD Drive currently not working? In other words, when you click on "My Computer," do you see the icon and drive letter for your DVD drive right now?
