The usual cause of this problem is having something termed packet CD writing software installed. This is software that allows you to use windows Explorer and to drag and drop files onto the CD/DVD disc as though it was a Hard Drive.

Popular Packet Writing programs include Nero InCD, Roxio Drag to Disc.

If you have such software then you need to disable it to allow VideoStudio to access the writer.

With InCD, you have to physically uninstall that module (not the whole Nero suite) from your computer. With Roxio, I understand that you can internally disable it without actually uninstalling it.

Try stopping InCD using this method:

Click the [start] button. Select [run] then type services.msc in the box and click ok

Now look down the list of running services and you should be able to identify the one for InCD. Click the Stop Service option.

Now why didn't I ever think of that one???

And thinking about it further, I guess clicking on the Task Manager (good old Ctrl+Alt+Del), and selecting Processes, you could similar find InCD and stop it there. Can't test it though as, needless to say, I don't have it loaded on my computer!

I was asked this by one of our forum members who sent me a private email. I had to get one of my spare Hard Drives out and install InCd to try it out because for obvious reasons it isn't installed on my normal hard drive.

I seem to recall that trying Ctrl-Alt-Del and attempting to stop it from the running process tab wouldn't work. I confess I can't remember if hitting the stop from services.msc would stop it when already running - but from the same services screen you can select the Log on tab and disable the service from starting in the first place but that would require a reboot.

If you have a look down this tutorial

you will screen shots of the services.msc screen and the tabs I have just mentioned.

That's all handy to know. Mind you, I don't use packet-writing much, and when I do, I tend just to use the built-in software which comes as part of XP.

Ken,
The reason I've used the packet writing is for easy portability of data to port from one machine to another etc.
If writing to a dvd+rw I just drop the files into the dvd. When I eject the dvd the packet writer updates the FAT on the dvd and finalizes that session.
Then I just take that dvd+rw to any computer and can fetch the data from it.
The other computer doesn't need packet writing installed to read the dvd/cd.
The udf reader is built into windoze.

Now with the new usb flash drives I don't use the packet writing that often anymore.

The only time I had InCD interfere with Ulead burning was using dvd-rw or dvd+rw media. Most of the time though ulead would still work though.

InCD is only one of several packet writing CD/DVD programs.
Do you have anything that enables you to drag and drop files onto the CD/DVD disc from Windows Explorer?

Packet CD programs include
Roxio Direct CD, Roxio Drag-to-Disc,
Ahead / Nero InCD,
Prassi / Veritas / Sonic DLA,
VOB / Pinnacle Instant-Write,
CeQuadrat Packet CD,
NTI FileCD,
BHA B's CLiP,
Sony abCD,

Can Windows recognise that the Sony drive is there? I mean, when you click on My Computer, does the drive show up with a drive letter and all?
