Vista - DVD-RW drive problem

Hi Guys,

I recently tried to burn a CD for the first time in a number of months. I'd
always used Roxio software for burning with no real probs but this time I
could not get the drive to recognize the CD-R disk. Decided to delete the
Roxio software and use the built in Windows Vista burning program instead
but kept getting same message asking me to insert a disk. Checked the DVD RW
drive properties and found it was set up ok as a recordable drive. Decided
that the drive must be kaput so I bought a new one. Installed that ok but
still Windows wouldn't recognize any recordable disks of any form that I put
in the drive. Installeed the Nero 8 software that came with the drive and
still have the same problem using that!

Any ideas guys?

This is a known problem that arises with the removal of the Roxio software.

Use the below fix for this issue. Before the re-worded this MS KB it used to say
that one of the causes was the removal of the Roxio software
