Windows 8 Does not recognize my dvd/bluray drive

Anonymous

Specifically my LG Bluray writer which uses which uses cyberlink powerdvd 10 programming cannot seem to recognize my graphics driver. I was told by LG support that the problem can be solved using the troubleshooter found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116.

The troubleshooter, however, does not work with windows 8. I am hesitant to mess around the registry unless someone has had this problem and has fixed it.

Can someone please let me know if the windows 7 solution for this problem is the same solution for windows 8?

Hi,

If you mean System Restore, I don't think it will restore the deleted folders...

The deleted folders would probably be in the Recycle Bin, but if you are concerned about this, don't delete them...

Just Rename them with something simple like an "A" at the beginning of them name...

Like A0002, A0003, A0004, as an example....

As far as windows is concerned it will have the same effect as deleting them...

I'm on Win 10 and have the issue where I see the drive letter and it is recognized, but the CD is not recognized.

I used to be able to write to CD-R, and now I cannot.

The more I work on Win10, the more issues are popping up :-/
