Hi there,

XP can no longer recognize new CDs in my DVD drive.

I just noticed this a bit ago as I needed to save a few files before battling viruses, malware, etc. Since I couldn't do the saving, I loaded files to a webserver. But I REALLY like having them in house and "hard copy".

After cleaning up (with help of BleepingComputer.com forum

I was advised to delete the device & then restart my computer. That didn't help.

Also, I noticed that on the properties tab of my DVD device ... there is no longer a Restore tab as I have read about.

The drive can read files from CDs that already have data on them.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Pamela

Are there any yellow exclamation points on any devices?
