I recently installed a Yamaha CRW3200EBEK (supposedly the same drive as the EZ) but had not tried burning as I had not obtained any media yet. The drive reads regular audio CDs and CD-ROMS fine (for example the Yamaha CD I installed Nero from). However, as soon as I insert any CD-R or CD-RW media, the blue light comes on which the manual says means the drive recognizes the media, but I can't click on anything anymore and get results. The mouse pointer moves but no clicking works. CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up the close program box which now has "Explorer (not responding)" Has anyone here had this happen before? I left a message on Yamaha support but haven't heard back yet. I forgot to mention I also installed IN-CD fromt the Yamaha disk. I don't know if that would be causing trouble or not. Thanks, Brian
Got a reply from Yamaha, basically to uninstall and reinstall everything (software and hardware). Reinstall each thing one at a time and test. This procedure helped me find that IN-CD was the problem. (Got an email from someone else with the same problem. When he uninstalled IN-CD the problem went away. He is just going to go with Easy CD Creator instead.) At this point I have downloaded the latest Nero version but haven't tried the latest IN-CD version yet. If that fails will try contacting Ahead for resolution. Will post what I find out. Note: This was also posted @ cdrinfo.com
Problem solved. In attempting to upgrade to new IN-CD version to see if that would fix it I got a message that ADAPTEC cd burning plugin for Windows Media Player was detected. I uninstalled that plugin and have had no trouble since.
