upper and lower filters

[davey-w]

Roxio is not detecting my drives. I have done the clean install, latest PxEngine. Firmware, all updates, everything I`ve seen on the forum with no joy. A while ago Live OneCare and iTunes stopped seeing the drives as well. Microsoft technical support eventually came up with the answer for OneCare by telling me how to create Lower Filters and what to put in there. I did the same for iTunes with Upper Filters and they are fine now. Can anyone tell me what Roxio should be putting in the Lower Filters or Upper Filters? Fujitsu Siemens, Vitsa Home Premium,

CDean,

 

Sorry for the delay. I've been out of country.

 

Yes, I'd suggest now the earlier one has repaired things you should use the later one to get up to the latest version.

Brendon

That`s right CD. Followed the link from Larry, downloaded latest PxEngine problem solved.

[Brendon]

Davey, we're trying to find out which PX updater did the job for you

- Version 3.00.58 from Larry's link, or the latest one, version 4.10.21a

 

Can you confirm please that it was the one from Larry's link and not the latest one?

 

Thanks very much,

Brendon

Hi Brendon

Yes I did try the version 4 before going on the forum. That made no difference. After I read the three replies I followed the link in Larry`s reply and downloaded the version 3. That worked fine. I`ve tried to confirm by looking for the Px Engine on my pc and I found a folder called Px Storage Engine. The date the folder was modfied is May 30th at 21.34. I know this seems to be earlier than my request for help, but that could be the difference in time zones. The only problem is that looking into the folder is not conclusive to me. If you tell me how, I will attach the folder for you to view, alternatively let me know what to look for and hopefully where to find it and I`ll let you know

I'm guessing that you tried the v4 PXEngine.

 

Try this one and see if it helps:

**** PX Engine 3.0

I just wanted to say that I'm glad I found this post. I have been trying

for a week to get Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum to play nice with

my LiteOn SOHW-1213S DVD R/RW.

 

My guess is that the current update engine was too new for version 6, so

I tried the PX Engine 3.00.58 found here and it did the trick! THANK YOU!

It's not really that.

 

The current updater won't fix a broken PX engine. It just installs the latest version of the files.

The version 3 updater seems to be a full installer, so will fix a broken PX engine.

 

That's why we suggest you try the 3.00.58 version if the other one doesn't solve your problem.

Glad it has done the trick.

Well- I thought I had the latest PxEngine. Obiously not! I used your link Larry, and bingo- there it was. I checked Live One Care and iTunes and they can see the drive as well. Nearly fell off my chair. I wanted to get the problem sorted because Roxio is the only software I`ve found that will convert dvr-ms files to mpeg without losing the correct dubbing. Nero I know can be used like Media Centre and come up with the right format for my Sony DVD player, but it`s not as good as Media Centre in several ways. many thanks to all three of you

[cdanteek]

Well- I thought I had the latest PxEngine.

 

PX Engine 4.10.28a.is the newest one. You said PX Engine 3_00_58a, the one Larry suggested you try, fixed your problem, right?

[Brendon]

No, that's lovely thanks Davey. It tends to confirm my thoughts about the version 3 installer versus the version 4 updater.

 

Now, if only we can get them to build a version 4 installer . . . . .

Yup, Larry had that pegged in Post #3, as did Big_Dave, in a post that mysteriously disappeared.

 

And, you are correct about Version 4. Roxio needs to build an installer that works.

 

[Brendon]

Thank you for your endorsement, Bruce.

Thank you for your endorsement, Bruce.

 

You're welcome.

Hey Brendon.

 

One last question. Does this mean that I should just stay with the 3.00.58 update, or

now that I have installed it, should I now also get the newer update.?

 

Thanks again!

Hi Brendon. Sorry for the delay, I`ve taken a well earned break! I did just follow Larry`s link. Prior to doing that I had installed version 4 from the Roxio web site, which is why I thought I had the latest version. If you tell me where to look, cos I can`t find the Px Engine, I`ll let you know which version it is now.

[davey-w]

Thanks to you all. Now I`m off to the Microsoft Forum because i can`t install Vista Service pack 2!! Get fed up with stumbling around aimlessly trying this and that but never actually using the PC for its real purpose.

 

all the best

I had a lot of problems with iTunes and had to remove it from the system. The bad news is that I had to reformat the HD and install everything over again, one application at a time. I couldn't prove it was iTunes but when I installed iTunes --- POOF my DVD/CD drive disappeared. Everything is working fine today. I am using iTunes 7.7.1.11

 

 

[Brendon]

Hi Davey,

 

Thanks for coming back to us.

 

If you go up a couple of messages and look at the links on Cdanteek's signature, at #7 is the link for the version 4 updater, and it is followed in the same line by a link for the version 3 installer.

 

I think the version 3 file is a full installer which will repair broken links and settings in your PX Engine, whereas the version 4 one will only update the files used without repairing anything that was broken.

 

This is why we're interested in which version fixed the problems - the old installer or the new updater.

 

Regards,

Brendon

If the PX Engine updaters don't fix the problem [and the one Larry pointed you at is most likely to help] you should have PxHelp20 in as a lower class filter.
