No CD Writers Found

[beetle]

I have an internal CD/DVD writer, but dbpoweramp CD writer cannot access it. When I try to burn a CD, it says "Unable to Access Selected CD Writer." My operating system is Windows Vista64 bit.

Very little we can offer if the drive is not detected.

Are you kidding me? That's pathetic. My drive is two years old. You're charging people for this, that's no kind of answer. "Very little you can do.." but take our money. Creepy.

Very little we can offer if the drive is not detected.

Re: No CD Writers Found

CD Writer is offered as a 'freebe', for those who have Reference. We make no implied guarantees for its suitability.

Pioneer DVR 215D not detected. It's a pretty new drive. Windows 7 32 bit.

Doesnt seem like a very well designed piece of software if it's rendered useless because modern drives are not detected! Pity because other than this very terminal problem it seems to work nicely...

Re: No CD Writers Found

I have a brand new computer too and the cd writer was not recognized. I'd suggest that the cd writer should not be offered since it is too buggy. I spent several hours messing with it. What a waste of time! :vmad: Better to not offer it at all. It will hurt the companies rep. because it will be discussed on various audio forums.

It will show on other forums. I've posted some myself trying
to find a solution............. no luck yet.

Re: No CD Writers Found

I had the same problem after loading my dBpoweramp on my Windows 7 machine. Try running the CD writer in compatibility mode / XP.

That worked for me.

Re: No CD Writers Found

Hi, everyone!

I, too, am having a problem with getting CD Writer to find the drive. I have Windows 7 and set up the program for compatability to Windows XP, but still no luck.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: No CD Writers Found

Yeah - worked fine for over 200+ rips, then suddenly no drives found after making some changes to the rip options.

Running in Windows XP Compatibility mode worked for me.

Re: No CD Writers Found

I found that running the program in Windows Vista Service pack 2 compatibility mode works for me .... in case you don't know how to do this: Right click on the CD writer application....go to properties go to compatibility tab, tick "run this in program in compatability mode for:" then choose Windows Vista (Service Pack2)

Re: No CD Writers Found

Vista SP-2 compatibility mode worked for me too on Windows 7...

Re: No CD Writers Found

I have Windows 7 and I have tried changing the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 and it still says "No CD Writer found". I can't believe that anyone that bought this software is out of luck if they have a new computer. What am I and so many other people doing wrong...if we are not doing something wrong, then why are so many people unable to get the CD Writer found?! The software is a joke and I have been ripped off, like so many others on this forum.
