Re: Can't lock DVD drive ("access denied") for burning

The only things running in TaskManager pertaining to Media Player that I can
see are its Network Services (wmpnetwk.exe & wmpnicfg.exe). Nero is not
installed.

Drive is closed properly.

I've tried 3 different brands that have all worked before.

| Could be the drive is not closing fully.

| Try other brand disks.
