I don't know what has changed. I used dvddcrypter last week, no problem. I put a dvd in today and i get this in the statusbar: Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present) So I went to Explorer to look at it. It is recognized only as a CD drive. I downloaded DVD Identifier and ran it and got this: ERROR : Unable to Intililize Disc : Not ready - Medium not present [02/3A/00] Problem is with all DVDs TIA
Try going to the device manager, find your dvd rom/burner there, and right click on it. Then click on uninstall. After it has uninstalled, reboot, and let Windows detect new hardware, and reinstall it for you. This will fix a lot of similar problems, but can't promise it will fix your's. Shouldn't hurt anything though, to try it. Good luck! Let us know how it goes?
