    Gad! What is it with this particular issue lately? This article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;314096 doesn't precisely describe your problem, but I bet the procedure will fix it. If it doesn't work try http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;314060 Otherwise, post a reply

    Oh yeah you mailed me .. sorry forgot ! Errrr maybe we are using the right phrases to get lots of googles ? Maybe its a very common issue ? but yeah lots of 'nearly the same' posts with 'nearly' the same symptoms ..

    This sounds like 'class filter driver' issues to me again too (especially as we've been upgrading) .. most likely fix will be zapping the appropriate reg key (already linked above ) & uninstalling /re-installing all 'burning type' software, testing after each one, (includes virtual drives & authoring packages) chucking in deleting the devices from device manager in safe mode first for good measure .. & I'd get one writer going on its own before trying both.
