Do You know you might have Auto play CDs Turned Off....
I hate when CDs load automaticly

Here you go try this:

Turns off the Autoplay feature

you can also disable Autoplay on all drives.

START > RUN > GPEDIT.MSC > USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > SYSTEM > FIND TURN OFF AUTOPLAY > RIGHT CLICK PROPERTIES > CLICK ENABLE > SELECT ALL OR CD ROM DRIVES > OK >REBOOT

I know thats the turn off method you see I know this by heart Because I hate auto loading CDs So I turn that off, You go to it and turn them on...

Hope It Helps

hey mojo thanks for the reply

unfortunately it didnt work.. i installed the firmware too and i still have the same problem

 

[mojo8850]

I did get the same problem...

Ok let me say what I think the problem is...
You put your cd in to drive and then double click on the cd drive, loads up but dont show the items/files, or is it when you double click on the files they dont launch...

i put my CD into drive and when i double click on a CD related program (IE cd burning, cd playing, dvd playing, cd ripping programs) they will not open, but when i open my cd drive then they all of a sudden open (from when i was trying to open them before with the cd in drive). in other words they dont open until i eject the CD

sounds like a lower/upper filter problem as a result of conflicting burning engines/programs;
you can try this tool (even if you never installed Nero) to correct the filter entries: http://www.nero.com/en/631938356417810.html
but as a result some of your collected burning engines might won't work after that;

don't upgade to 4.7x headaches;
v4.60 build 1021 installed by using ForceASPI 1.7 is still the most reliable;
go there and follow the related commands: http://www.dvdrbase.com//showthread.php?t=32137

i decided to move this thread as it isn't really a dvd burning problem. i'm still not sure i understand what the problem is. are u saying that when u first insert a cd into the drive, programs that u try to open manually won't do so until u open and close the drive a second time, at which time they open automatically? and which programs are u trying to use?

yes!! that's exACTLY whats happening, i'm glad you understood me

the programs i'm trying to run are RecordNow! Deluxe (DVD and CD burning program) and PowerDVD (dvd player)

Either Imapi or a packet writer are locking your drive- disable them.

it might be that after applying the tools either:
- all your burning capable applications are working right furthermore;
- one of your burning capable applications does not working anymore;
- some of your burning capable applications do not work anymore;

burning engines/drivers often compete and mess up each other; so it's always recommended to limit their quantity to a minimum;

and like scarecrow wrote, packet writers are the worst example for that;

could you tell me how to do that please?


PS thank you everyone who is replying and trying to help me

disabling IMAPI is explained there: http://www.dvdrbase.com//showthread.php?t=32137

about packet writers: uninstall InCD, DirectCD, DLA, InstantWrite ... simply any Drag&Drop burning software; we don't know what you have/had installed;
