DVD-RW Drive Letter Changes

[CharlesEF]

Hi All,

 

Ever since I installed EMC 7 I have had this problem. My DVD-RW drive letter swaps letters with a memory card slot drive letter. My DVD-RW is drive X: and the first memory card slot is drive S:. When I load Creator Classic I find that my DVD-RW is now drive S: and the memory card slot is now drive X:. I have to reboot in order to use Disk Management to change the drive letters back.

 

How can I stop this?

 

PS: People in the MS forums tell me this is a known problem with ZoneAlarm. I have had ZA installed for a few months before I installed EMC 7 and never had the problem until I installed EMC 7. Since all I have to do is load Creator Classic to get the drives letters changed I tend to think it is a EMC 7 problem.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Charles

I have ZA on 4 machines and have never seen this problem nor heard it but I guess it could be depending on what version they're using. I'm just using the basic Pro firewall. Are you using the Security Suite? I'm not a fan of ZA, Norton or Mcafee security suites.

I also use ZA but the free edition and don't have any problems with drive letters.

This could also be a windows problem - my system disk suddenly decided it was Drive U: on the last reformat/re-install (but all other drive letters are as they were)

Hi All,

 

I also use the free version of ZA. I guess I will uninstall ZA and do some testing.

 

 

Thanks for all the help,

Talk to ZA, this is not a Roxio issue…

If it WERE a Roxio issue, I think we would have had one or two such questions before now.

 

So I suspect it is Zone Alarm.
