    This was actually on the thread I just copied the above question from ..

    Cannot Access CD-ROM..

    Note this bit :-
    There may be other third party CD-Writing Software that exhibit similar behavior. Some or all of these troubleshooting steps can apply to them if they also add entries under the UpperFilters or LowerFilters registry values by either adding their filter drivers or by removing the registry keys and values outlined in this article..
    As otherwise its all apparently about Adaptec EasyCD Creator ...

    There's other things that may fix it, if this solution doesn't .

    Do you have any other software that can burn cd or DVD disks ?

    & having tried the delete registry key trick from the KB, have you now tried uninstalling/re-installing Nero ?

    (if you said yes to the first question take it all off & just add back nero for now)

    If we need to keep trying stuff, can I have a note of the operating system & an idea of your kit, if only the drives please

    Thumbs up

    I don't have any other software. I've tried everything and what I'm gonna do is open the console and unplug and plug again the driver. I might have to get another one; the PC is 4 years old and already worked a lot. Either that or I got a bad virus that NORTON doesn't catch.

    Thank you so much for your help
