Windows DVD Maker will not recognize my DVD burner

your's is an interesting post, I too have a usb wireless internet
conection, and one way to ensure for sure I lose my burner is indeed to
plug it in and go online, I assumed it was making the internet
connection that did it, but maybe you are on to something, I find my
burner dissappears doing the above or using non windows media apps prior
to using win DVD burner so there's obviously a conflict somewhere! the
only way to get it back is not just restarting but waiting a day and
then it often it shuts down to prevent data execution, I now use DVD
video soft to burn DVD's instead, no fancy menus but it works with ALL
codecs including 3gp off my phone and flv youtube downloads!

.... and thank you both... I added the info to my website's Vista > DVD Maker
page. I had the problem there with one poster resolving it when caused by a
conflict between an unused SATA controller and an IDE controller. You
provide a second reason.
