Help Badly Needed

[DarthCopier]

Restarted computer, ran Fab6, still same message about "no writable media in burner. Thought you might need to know I am running Windows 7. Did getwinofrom Imgburn beforecomputer started Fab6, unsure what it means. also thought this might help, filterappears to still be ther even though tried to remove per all your instuctions

I 12:50:35 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
I 12:50:35 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (6.1, Build 7600)
I 12:50:35 Total Physical Memory: 3,668,472 KB - Available: 2,409,680 KB
W 12:50:35 Drive M:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size.
I 12:50:35 Initialising SPTI...
I 12:50:35 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...
I 12:50:35 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 2 DVD±RW/RAMs!
Dont know about the mentioned Drive M, not sure where it is and do not use it in trying to run Fab 6

Please go back to Imgburn and re-check the "Drive Load Order" just to confirm whether the filter (driver) is there or not...

If it's still there, try again to remove it directly with Imgburn from the screen you're in, then reboot, and check again...

If that doesn't work, you'll have to remove whatever the program is that put it there... it'll be a program by Arcsoft...don't know which one...

Please advise.

Did you restart computer after you deleted the filter. I should have mentioned that as well but forgot

Did as you instructed. Clicked on filter, requested removal, got message warning about some programs not working. Clicked on okay to remove, but does not appear filter was removed.

Tried DVDFab6 but still get message that writable media is not recognized. Am using Vertaim DVD-R 16X discs.

Right click the ImgBurn desktop icon and select run as administrator. Once ImgBurn opens click tools-Filter Drive Load Order-select the filter I listed below and then click remove selected filter. Once this filter is removed the program that installed it may not work anymore so might be better to find out which program installed the filter and use the programs uninstall to remove the program from computer.

You never will find the 'clipboard' - it is term used by windows for a temp. storage area... to get the info from Imgburn to us:

1.) In Imgburn, go to 'Tools' > 'Driver Load Order', and a text listing will show up in the Img window.

2.) Starting at the top left of that program window, right-click and HOLD IT clicked, and drag it first to the end of the line, then drag it down to the bottom of the list. All the text in that window should now be high-lighted.

3.) Holding the cursor over the last letter of text, right-click and select & click 'Copy'.

4.) When you are creating a post here, right-click when ready to include the text, select & click 'Paste', and it'll be included in your post.

Re Windows Explorer, go to 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'Accessories' > 'Windows Explorer' and left-click on it.

When it's running, left-click on My Computer, and look at the letter designation that is your DVD drive. If the name of the film in some form is there, then Explorer is recognizing the disk, and we can eliminate that as a possible problem. If not, we'll let you know the next step.

P.S. - I'm an old man, too.

P.P.S. Also not thrilled to hear you're using a Lappy... they overheat too fast, and the drives they install (DVD drives, that is) are crappy and short-lived... you may want to consider getting a new drive to use as an external drive, hooked in by USB...

Have tried what you suggested. Windows explorer does not show title of film. Show a statement that disc is copy protected. Also get message wanting to know about using as a USB or burn to DVD.

Have a desktop "HP" that I use all the time.Also have laptop and notebook that are used for back up if desktop fails.

Thank you for advice. I am aware of copy and paste and how to use them. However, when a person cannot find the clipboard once it is clicked upon, what does a person do?

Step by step help would be appreciated.

Reply concerning inqbility to copy

Do the discs show up in Windows Explorer?

Do you have any other software on your system related to disk copying and/or burning?

Using Imgburn, please go to 'Tools' > 'Driver Load Order' and please post the info you find there.

I am unsure on how to check if disc show up in windows explorer. Please instruct on how to accomplish this.

Have Roxio My DVD Video Lab 10 and Windows DVD Maker on my system. However, I believe they were present long before problems started.

As per Imgburn, followed your instructions but I don't know how to get info to this message, I clicked on Clipboard in Imgburn but unable to find info. Need step by step instruction on how to get info to you.

See, I told you that you were helping out an old dummy. Thanks for everything so far that you have done to help me.

The HP and the Memorex don't surprise me re your problem, but the Verbatim do surprise me.

I'm not sure why, but many people seem to have problems with the VSO burner supplied with DVDFab...(I never had any, but that's another story...).

Please download Imgburn from the web (a freebie), and we'll try using it. There is a tutorial in this forum for setting up Imgburn for use with Fab (basically, just a couple of small adjustments).

Can you also please include a burn log (any one will do) - location C:\Documents & Settings\Your Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Logs\BurnLog with your next post, as there are certain details there I'd like to see.
