AFter many a years of creating CDs (especially using the Label Creator), Roxio program doesn't seem to recognize that a CD is actually in either drive.
Worse than that, in Creator Classic under Tools, Drive Properties is invisible...and the Default Recorder toggle will not operate...

I can use Windows Media alright to burn a CD, so I am confused. (I have WIndows XP, SP3)...I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still no success...

Any ideas..?

It happens for reasons unknown…

From your Start button select Run and try this one - may want to do a copy and paste:

Regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DragonBurningEngine\Dragon.dll

Reboot and give it a try.

If that still doesn’t work download and run the PXEngine.

JIM:
GOOD NEWS and bad...the first solution failed as I received this dialogue box: DIALOG REGSVR32: LOadLIbrary("C":\Program")failed - The specified module could not be found.
GOOD NEWS, the PX ENGINE has solved most of the issue...I am actually listening to a CD...my Label Creator works and I will go back into the other Roxio programs.
YOU RE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!

I will keep you "in my file" should I fall into another mess....

MANY MANY THANKS...

Hardly a genius but I did keep notes of fixes that others found through the years.

I like to think of it as Useful  Plagiarism

Jim, useful plagiarism it is then, BUT, not everyone would be able to amass that kind of information and then impart it to someone else...

NOW, continuing issues.....When I put a CD in either drive, the drives don't actually show that there is something in them...I actually have to click on them to get started...and even now while I am playing a CD in my DVD drive, if I look at the drive D, it does say AUDIO CD but free space and total size both indicate 0 bytes...(should it not indicate the size of the disc being played..???)..

Obviously a glitch still occurs...

any thoughts from your plagiarist archives..??? lol

I am only following along about 1/2 way

Which program in the Suite? What kind of Project?

Not uncommon for XP to slap a label, like Audio, of something in the drive.

I have V6 on another PC, so let me know and I will see what I get from it.

Both a commecial Audio CD and a home-made Audio CD-R in the drive shows as 0 bytes (the amount that can be recorded).  A data CD-R, a Kodak CD (a kind of data CD, but not something I've burned myself), and a commercial DVD show the number of bytes of data.  I believe that is normal. So I don't take the fact your music CD shows as 0 bytes to be significant.

Since I'm checking in a Combo drive on Win2K, it wouldn't be able to identify a data DVD/R, so I didn't check that.  (Combo drives don't do recordable DVDs - if I hooked a DVD burner up, Win2K could use it, assuming appropriate software.)

And I have auto-play disabled in all optical drives in all my computers.  I don't care for auto-loaded viruses, thanks anyway.

Jim,
you are most likely following half way, because my ability to be explicit was only half way.

There are 2 issues that for some reason now, appear to cause difficulties (while the major issues were indeed solved by your plagiaristic archival advise...
Audio Central (or whatever it is called since I am not on my own PC at this moment) plays the CD in either my CD or DVD drive (though I have to say if I minimize the screen and have it down on the bottom bar, it gets "stuck" and the only way I can end the program is by doing a CTRL ALT DELETE and close the program from the task manager.

I guess the fact that it plays is ok.....but what I thought prior to all of this was that if I happened to check in MY COMPUTER in the drives for the CD/DVD, that if in fact there was a CD in either drive (a music or data CD that I made), that the drive would actually show the details of the disc....how many kb or whatever. It shows Okb now on a recorded disc, asopposed to a blank one..

I do have access to the Label Creator now...the Drive Options in Creator Classic is now usable and "shown" so all is ok on that front..

Have I been more succinct?

BTW, the only things I do with the suite are create music discs and use the label creator for the booklet...

I haven't been able to figure out how to use the DVD builder (have a feeling I need something else for that.,...WHAT I am not sure....)..

Lynn, I am confused by your response...probably because you ended your blurb with a "thanks anyway"...as though I was responding to a problem of yours....(which I was not..)..

therefore, I have to query, were you trying to help me?

OK, so all is working to your satisfaction???

As far as minimized to the Task Bar, can’t you Right Click the button and use Restore or Maximize?


It has always worked on mine???

DVD Builder in V6 was a One-of-a-Kind. It had limited editing but it did work.

Starting in V7 you had a separate Editor (VideoWave) and a separate DVD Movie Authoring program (MyDVD) – actually in V7 they still called it ‘DVD Builder’ but that name was never used again.

Once you learned to use the VW/MyDVD combo and saw the power you had, nobody ever missed ole V6… Well at least not for long
