can't play audio after installing burner
Last year i purchased a Packard Bell Multimedia 550which came with a pioneer DVD-113 CD ROM.
Last month I decided to buy an Acer CDRW. I installed it on the same IDE as the DVD and set it up as the slave. Now when I put an audio CD in the DVD Windows Media player starts up but the computer states that audio format is not supported. When i unplug the CDRW I can play audio CD's again.
Any disks burned are jumpy
Win Amp won't play or say anything and the Adaptec program states that the CD player is being used by another program.
I put the burner on its own IDE and have the DVD and hard drive share an IDE but this still presents the same problem.
I also tried having the CDRW as the only CD-ROM and, while it worked, it isn't the set up I want.
When I installed the CDRW i used the driver disk supplied with the burner but then realized that it the disk was for pre windows 95. This caused the computer to run slow until I removed the driver file from the SYS.CONFIG page.
Do I need to download new drivers for the computer so I can use a DVD and a CDRW?
I spoke to a tech on the phone and he spoke to me about starting the computer up while presing the F2 key to get to the BIOS page but according to him my system is set to the right settings.
I have thought about reformatting the whole thing but that seems like a whole lot of work for somthing that should be so simple, plus, all I may need is the correct driver or the right settings selected, in which case reformatting would be a waste of time.
Do I need to "tick any boxes" on my system when I put a new CD-ROM in?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
