489132 2006-10-04 06:06:00 Hi all, I keep getting the following error message when I try to use the dvd recorder...which is called "Sonic Record Now"

"The PX engine does not appear to be installed or complete on this computer, please reinstall the application"

I also got the message that there is no optical drive....whats going on as I burned some discs only a couple of months ago....how would I reinstall when I dont have a install program or at least I cant find it. I am running WIN XP Home edition with all the updates etc so I have no idea whats going on.

Is there a program oonline I can get to fix this?

489134 2006-10-04 06:28:00 Hi Trevor, thanks for that, my dvd will still play movies, does it mean I need to upgrade the burning pxengine, if I download an upgraded version will that fix the problem or is it more serious than that......I mean it was working perfectly up till now and Ive done nothing to it that I know of. The web site link you supplied doesnt relly tell me whats wrong or how to fix it, I cant even get the version info that Im using...this is really frustrating.... gtr676 (5919)

489139 2006-10-05 05:06:00 well, after much uninstalling and reinstalling the application which never worked, talked to our local PC Shop tech and he didnt know what was up, did some googling and after many hours reading articles etc I finally found a forum with people with the same prob as me, finally found a reply with a link to an 488kb update to px engine and downloaded it, run it, and wallah...it now burns dvds again...at 2x speed at the moment but Ill get that back to max soon, but for now...its working aok..thanks to all for suggestions etc...even tho I managed it myself...... gtr676 (5919)
