Re: dvd recorder required
I searched the site and nothing so i contacted sony about the firmware update
and after being sent around about 10 different departments they told me that
the instructions were not avaliable anymore as it is a discontinued model. I
also checked the microsoft site for any updates for media centre or drivers,
as after more research it seems that many people are experiencing the same or
similar problems with vista, but no luck there either. So i have given up and
bought a new samsung lightscribe drive with nero 7 software both of which
took about five minutes to install and worked straight away
Thanks for the help anyway
