I just installed Creator DE on my Dell Inspiron 530 running Vista. The windows explorer (or whatever it is called in Vista)
sees the drive and all the files on it. Creator DE says "No drive detected" if I go to the copy menu.
I checked for and installed all the updates from Roxio.
The DVD I am trying to read is a mini-DVD made on a camcorder, but that shouldn't make a difference if Windows can see it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure which versiuon number of DE you have, but guessing it may be v10 since that's the area you posted in.

What Roxio updates did you check for and install? The DE versions are Dell Edition ones, so updates typically come from them.

Try the following PX Engine update ans see if it detects your drive.
**** PX Engine 3.0

Would you happen to have drive model info? It would matter if your drive is a ROM and not RW
