having issues since migrating to Windows 7

[tli]

... The movie is recognized in My computer and on the dvd drive it shows the movies name and If I open DVDFAB, allow it to try and run its scan and open the movie, it just gives up and then I attempt to close DVDFAB, it takes quite a while(10min to close) and it may go away but it still is seen in task manager under "services".
I then have to force a logout, but the movie still isnt recignized after i log back in so I have to actually restart the pc and DVDFAB then goes away in tasks manager so now I open windows media player and the movie plays just fine.
...

In the DVDFab Common Settings, try switching the Read I/O Mode to SPTI and see if you get the same symptoms. Repeat test for the ASPI mode selection, and see if there's any difference.

[Edit] Try re-installing the driver too--delete the drive from the Device Manager, and let Win 7 re-load driver upon reboot. [/Edit]

Big have you installed any other dvd copying software, and if you did is it still on your computer or deleted?

[BIG]

tli and CBR929

Toggled between the I/O modes and did not resolve the issue.

Uninstalled the driver,rebooted and allowed Windows to reinstall dvd drive driver.

No other DVD copying software installed.

Thanks.

... No other DVD copying software installed. ...

... I first upgraded and purchase to the newest version of all of my software just to ensure that i had all Winodws 7 compatible software and HARDWARE.
Installed the newest version of DVEDFAB and have had these reading issues ever since. ...

CBR929 asked the question that I was going to follow up with. Anyway, just to be clear, do you currently have any other software--not just DVD copying apps--installed on this Win 7 PC?

Give this article a read--even though it was written for Vista, it applies to Win 7 too--and see if it may be applicable to your situation:

The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista

i would remove dvdfab, clean out any temp files in your hard drive, reboot, re-install dvdfab.

[BIG]

having issues since migrating to Windows 7

Already removed upper and lower filters. Verified they are no longer their.

I willl again remove dvdfab,clean temp folder, reboot and reinstall..

Ill post the results.

OK, I performed the uninstall, deleted the temp and the prefetch files,,reinistalled and now during the dvd scan I get the error ""Read/Writing Error Control" Error while reading, please choose what to do"" Options are: Retry, Abort, Ignore, Ignore All.

What does this "Read/Write Error Control" mean??

Now, when DVDFab is opened, scans a bit, stops and blows the dvd drive away, Have to reboot for dvd drive to reappear.
DVDFAB actually stops working and windows closes it out, dvd drive is gone afterwards.

There must some kinda conflict but the troubleshooter isnt detected it.

WTF????

I am assuaming this is MHz. If so, why are they different and also shouldn't they be closer to your bus speed Front Side Bus: 1600MHz
1066MHz
1333MHz

Have you also checked the cables on you DVD burner to make sure they are secure?

[BIG]

having issues since migrating to Windows 7

I have had no issues with using DVDFAB with this hardware configuration until Windows 7 was installed.

ALL cables are secure. Checked that already. I even replaced the cable for the dvd drive and swapped it back just to make sure, but with same results

The lastest specs are a result of a Speccy scan.
On post 17 was spec'd configuration off of the Dell Website for my pc.

Thank You for catching this, Ill will post the corrected info that spec'd from the Dell site for my actual pc config. I think that Speccy had everything correct but the memory

When the Read I/O Mode setting was switched for testing earlier, what is it set at now? Was it changed back to its default setting of 'Auto'?

Again, please list any and all other installed software apps--not just DVD copying--for potential source of conflicts.

Hi again BIG,

Bummer!...so do you have any hair left?

In addiition to tli's question...

Did you have any glitches/warnings during the win7 install?
You might consider running this registry patch
cdgone.zip

It was created prior to Vista, but it has worked for Vista users as well and Win7 is based on similar (? same) architecture.
It may just work.

If you prefer to download the file yourself, here you go:

http://www.aumha.org/regfiles.php

Scroll down to Restore Missing CD drive

Also could you post back with your motherboard (make & model), speccy should list the bios as well.
The dell model # would be a help too.

[BIG]

having issues since migrating to Windows 7

maineman,
I had no warnings,errors or issues when/during the Windows 7 installation.
I will investigate the suggestion on the reg patch and Speccy listed no BIOS info.

I will retrieve the BIOS info and post later it but have posted the pc Make/model number.

Thanks
