After DT/SPTD-install my DVD-writer wont recognize blank CD-Rs

[kokobananko]

Hi everyone!

I just updated my installed SPTD together with the latest Daemon Tools (4.091 x86) on my Windows XP-system. I had an older version of Daemon Tools before that (about a year old, sorry cant remember version). Immediately after the installation/upgrade my NEC DVD-RW ND-3540A began to give me a hard time. It wont recognize blank CD-Rs, it does recognize DVD-Rs but it labels them as CD-Rs but i can burn DVD-Rs as usual. I cant burn CD-Rs anymore though.

So at first i upgraded to the latest beta version of SPTD but still the same problem. Then i uninstalled DT and SPTD and deleted some DT and SPDT entries in the registry and deleted sptd.sys, and i have still the same problem.

I dont know what to do next, will appreciate any suggestion and help i can get.

Regards

koko,
Reccomend that you remove all the drivers for your CD drive through device manager (rclick My Computer, Properties, Device Manager under XP or Vista). Restart your computer, reinstall your drivers and see if that fixes the problem.
Not really SPTD related but yeah, it's what I'd do :p
Best of luck!

just realized that the dvd-writer dont recognize any CDs at all, including audio, original data-cds etc.

does that change anything?

just to clarify things: when i put in a dvd-r explorer labels it as a blank cd not a blank dvd, pretty strange imo ....
