Problem with DVD writing in VS 10

Hi all . I have a problem with VideoStudio 10 - I can't burn CDs/DVDs . The reason is that the program can't find my recording device :

I can't select it , and I have a DVD / CD recorder - LG , HL-DT-ST DVDRAM . Other programs like Nero and even WIndows Media Player recognize it , but VS 10 can't select it

Please help

Do you have Nero InCd installed?
If you do uninstall it from the Add/Remove programs window in Windows. It has a habit of forcefully seizing control of the burner at start up and not letting anyone else play with it. It has kind of anti-social imperialist tendencies.

Do you have a full version of VS10 or did it come bundled with some other hardware device like a video camera or capture card?
I am wondering if it is an SE version which may have limited capabilities.

Also have you tried the same procedure with a disc in the drive and still no drive detection?

Finally if none of the above, have you tried a re-install or repair install of VS10 after having uninstalled InCd as that may get VS to now detect the drive.

Actually , a friend of mine has Video Studio 11 Plus so he gave me his CD and I installed it but I decided to keep my version (10) n my PC . So , when I installed VS 11 I tried if it will recognize my recorder and it did . So , I opened VS 10 and tried to Burn a CD - this time it recognized my recorder . So I think that when I installed VS 11 it installed some files or something which helped VS 10 to recognize the recorder , too
