I'm almost stumped. Only thing I can think of is an old fix from years ago when I used Windows 98. Try reinstalling the ASPI Driver

You can also try removing the drive in Device Manager and then reboot. It will be picked up by Windows upon reboot and may clear things out.

I have rebooted, removed device driver, and tried the windows media player it will start to burn but give me the licens error. All I have for programs is roxio and media player. Its a lap top so no other drive for swap. any other ideas? I appreciate the help

I do not think Vista uses a ASPI driver becouse I can not find one

Long shot - temporarily disable Vista burning

No, it's not needed in Windows NT/2000/XP or Vista but some software can use it. I felt it was not going to make a difference anyway and was just throwing it out there.

 

Do you have any virtual drives installed, Alchohol 120%, CloneDVD or the like?

Try rebooting. Have you got any other CD/DVD burning applications besides Roxio Creator 10.2 DE?
