Hi all, I have a pioneer dvd writer 111 something and everytime I am inserting a dvd to burn something it is being recognised as a cd. Is it possible that the laser of the DVD is not working and so it is only the cd laser that is working. Is there something to fix this problem or it would be better if i change the dvd writer with a new one.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Kindly try the following solution before you think of changing the drive..
Click Start, click Run, type regedit and then click OK. Registry Editor starts.
In Registry Editor, expand My Computer, and then expand and open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>Class
Under Class, click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
In
the right pane (topic area), right click UpperFilter and delete the
entry, also right click Lower Filter and delete the entry.
Close the Registry Editor and Restart the computer.
Hope it Helps
All The Best
Sammy
Sometimes it depends on what kind of dvd-r you buy because they have DVD+R DVD-R DVD-DL ect it might also depend on the brand of the dvd-r most of the time the more exspencive ones work better Like sony or memorex

Sammy I found every thing exept the "upper filter" maybe I can find it from somewhere else or I have something missing .
