have written regarding this prob before and the suggestion response did the trick, so now I'm confused as to why it's not working. here goes---

I have a dvdr/rw burner which I added to my comp. dvda seems to think that it's simply a cd media only drive. I think the prob lies somewhere within the happy place of my computer, but I unfortunately cannot find that happy spot due to a severe loss of brain cells which have snuck off in the night somehow. Anyway, I tried disabling the "skip drive database" which worked last time, but not this time. anyone? anyone?

and if it still refuses to wk, how Exactly do I burn w/ nero? (again, I cite loss of brain cells--or perhaps an original lack)
thank you so much smart people!
