Hey,

Ive just noticed a strange problem with my DVD drive and I cant believe I didnt notice it before now. It wont read any of my DVD+R discs anymore, it use to in windows XP and ive just been to the manufacturers website and ive already got the latest firmware and it says on the specs it can read + dvds but for some reason Vista isnt reading them, any ideas what could be wrong and what I can do?

Im lost on this one.

Thanks xxx

I do have 1 suggestion... but you won't like it The laser is getting old. As they degrade they lose the ability to read 'home made' disks first.

Try performing a BIOS update as well and delete upper and lower filters, flash the latest firmware was well.. skip if u have already done it!

Hello everybody!!

The upper and lower case filters was inherent from XP caused mostly by 3rd party badly written read/write/burn programs.

Just in case you have no idea what Vejay is talking about.

here:is the Reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
"UpperFilters"=-
"LowerFilters"=-

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdr4_2K]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdralw2k]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdudf]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\UdfReadr]

you can manually do this of copy the above into notepad an save as cdfilter.reg save the dblclick to remove.
