I have a dell latitude d800 with a samsung cdrw/dvd SN-324B cd burner and recently it stopped burning and playing cd's. Windows doesn't recognize the drive. In device manager it has an exclamation point next to it. I've looked everywhere for a driver and can't find one, I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what to do to get my burner online. I really need some help, dell tech support is worthless.

Anyhow, if your trying to use windows and roxio, i'll tell ya that sometimes those programs can "steal" it from windows so it can only run with roxio. Try to get the latest version of roxio, and if that doesn't work, try uninstalling it all together... see what happens post back.

I'd suggest uninstalling and then reinstalling it. -------------------- - John If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask for it. I have the Knack.

I still get an error message when I start iTunes about there being a conflict with it and my burning software but I can burn with Roxio and iTunes works, so I guess thats good enough. -------------------- New Computer: 64 bit amd 1.6Ghz x2 - 895 mb ram - 120gb hard drive dvd burner with lightscribe - 15.4" WSXGA screen - Radeon x1250 Protected by: Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise, McAfee Site Advisor, Spybot, Ad-Aware: Death to spyware!
