| 73931 | 2002-08-26 02:33:00 | Could anyone please tell me why I have to re-boot my computer after a CD burn. After a burn it will not play any CD either in Media Player or Winamp until it is re-started. Not a big deal, just a nuisance. Maybe one of you knowledgeable people could help a dumb greenhorn. Thanks. |

| 73932 | 2002-08-26 02:41:00 | Perhaps you should say what sort of computer, as anyone giving you advice for Linux or a Macintosh wont be much good if you a running Windows or vice versa.... | godfather (25) | ||
| 73933 | 2002-08-26 02:49:00 | Good point Godfather. I am running a Pentium with Windows 98. The CD writer in an Asus. |

| 73934 | 2002-08-26 03:00:00 | What CD writing software are you using? It sounds like something is not releasing the CD writer after the burn |

| 73935 | 2002-08-26 03:08:00 | I am using Media Player 7.2 with in-built Adaptec CD Maker, or something to that effect. | Tony S. (450) | ||
| 73936 | 2002-08-26 03:23:00 | OK, but you have lost me.... You only use media player to play. To burn you use Adaptec. From your reply, it sounds like you are running them together? What are you burning, is it data, MP3s ripped from CDs, MP3s downloaded, are you copying Audio CD's or Data CD's What are the symptoms, does the CD player "disappear" from the device list in the PC, do you get an error of some kind, just exactly what goes wrong (step by step) Nobody can second guess the faults, given it could be 1 of 1000 things... |

| 73937 | 2002-08-26 03:38:00 | I think this is what we discussed in J ZEP's question (thread.jsp?forum=1&thread=23425)(August 10). Did you come to a conclusion, godfather? | Graham L (2) | ||
| 73938 | 2002-08-26 04:05:00 | I changed my CD writing software away from XP one but havent done the test yet, it was a different problem here. There is no "unmount" in windows, but your original point is valid, in that with J ZEP it could only read the burnt CD until rebooted. That suggests its still "mounted" and a bug in XP? But this problem is in 98... |

From your reply, it sounds > like you are running them together? With the All-New, Improved, Bigger, Better, Larger Windows Media Player 7.1 subcomponent "CD Burn Plug-in" (and racing stripe) you can now create more coasters than ever before. Isn't technology wonderful? :D It was never like this with my old 6510. Cheers, Alan (elderly) Carpenter |

| 73940 | 2002-08-26 07:51:00 | Hi Guys! Tried the archives that Graham L suggested, but not really very helpful. Alan Carpenter is on to it, Media Player 7.1 has buit in Adaptec CD Recorder plug-in. That is what i am using. To burn you go File, copy to Cd, and Adaptec plug in takes over. When burnt, Adeptec disappears leaving MP exactly as it was, no errors, nothing, but will not play any CD, pre-recorded or burnt, until re-boot. Hope this clarifies a confusing situation. Sorry to be a pain. Cheers to you all. |
