    I recently downloaded a free trial version of Tune Pat (A program that converts .m4b (audio book) files from iTunes and burns them to CD) and when it didn't work the way I wanted, I just stopped using it. Then my DVD burning programs (Acala DVD Copy and DVDfab 6) stopped working. I pulled up "My Computer and noticed a new Drive "I" that wasn't there before. This was the Virtual Drive created by Tune Pat. I tried downloading some programs to remove this drive but they all recognized the drive as "fixed" and wouldn't remove it. So I uninstalled Tune Pat and this successfully removed the virtual drive. I restarted and tried to burn again but now there are no drives recognized by Acala or DVD fab 6 to burn to - basically neither program is recognizing my dvd drive. It still shows up under My Computer but not in either program. I saw a fix in another post but it was for XP only and I am running Vista on my Dell Inspiron 1520. Any help would be much appreciated and plese let me know if further info is needed to fix my problem. Thanks. -Ed

    No Vista guy, but can't you just uninstall and restart your burner from Device Manager?
