re: nero 7 software with lite-on dvd c lh52c1p Saturday, October 6, 2007 at 7:58 am Posted by Steve (19681 messages posted) The Rom itself should work in all versions of Windows. But DVD Movie playback, and CD Burning you do need the right software. Try the Free VLC Media Player for playing DVD Movies. Free CD Burning Software can be found on the Internet with Google. My favorite Burning Software for Windows ME is Nero 6.6, but it is about 50 to 60 bucks, maybe cheaper with a bit of online shopping. I thought Nero 7 was a bit buggy, and dumped it.

NEITHER DOES MICROSOFT GOOD DAY" duhhhh. i think everyone knows that, what i cant understand is why lite-on it woud manufacture a dvd rom for windows 98/me, with a manufacturers dates of july 2007 on the box.? and still not reply back or give any help? and i should have known!!! there was 2 other of these on the store shelf both had been opened before and looked like they were returned to the store. why didnt i realize it. thanks again for the advice. joe On Saturday, October 6, 2007 at 7:58 am, Steve wrote: >The Rom itself should work in all versions of Windows.

Windows recognized it with no problems. ME does have some limitations due to Fat 32 File system in that you can't use single Files over 4 Gigs. As long as I stay away from the Video Files that are over 4 gigs in size the Burner works OK.

To Play DVD movies you need DVD Playback software. To Burn a DVDR or CDR you need Burning Software. If You can't copy a CD to the Hard Drive, or the Rom won't Read a CD then the problems would either be a Windows Problem, or a Defective Rom. On average I find about 10 percent of new Hardware Defective right out of the Box.

Then uninstall all the Burning Software you have installed, and find a Trial Copy of Nero 6.6, and try it. If none of this works then return the Rom you bought for replacement. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: nero 7 software with lite-on dvd c lh52c1p Tuesday, October 9, 2007 at 4:40 am Posted by Joe (21 messages posted) thanks, does nero 6.6 need a serial number? thats all i wanted from nero or lite on was some support, and it seems like maybe they have none? also do you know anything about a second cd/rom? my old one, which was also a lite-on writer, i connected to the new lite on dvd cd rom. and i have it connected on the secondary ide as the slave device, the newer dvd rom is also on the secondary ide, as master. but the old lite-on cd rom, the light barely comes on, and the door of it wont open,? do i need to configure it some how into my system? drive letter? and settings somewhere? partition? i definately see both cd roms, loading, when the pc starts up. but only the newer dvd cd rom, works like my old one, and the old one, like i said barely can see the green light and the door wont open on it? could my pc not be capable of having 2 cd drives? i did change the jumper settings 2nd/ slave cd rom, and i just wonder why i see both players when the pc startup and loads. but when i went into bios, there was only the new one listed? im going to download the nero 6.6. now thanks alot. joe On Monday, October 8, 2007 at 7:14 am, Steve wrote: >Uninstall all the stuff you installed so far related to DVD Play Back, and install >VLC Media Player from Link.

This is just a test to see if the DVD Burner works. I know Nero 6.6 works good with Windows ME, so if it doesn't work then either your Burner is broken, or Windows ME itself may be messed up.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: nero 7 software with lite-on dvd c lh52c1p Tuesday, October 30, 2007 at 7:35 am Posted by Ed (603 messages posted) Any DVD player that costs only $25 is going to be less compatible with older operating systems, such as WinME, than a more expensive player. And very few hardware vendors will bother to provide any worthwhile support for operating systems prior to Win XP. The prudent way to proceed would be to look for a player that comes with a user recommendation from someone who has actually used the player with WinME. Here's a link I chanced across recently, which identifies some problems that users have experienced with Liteon DVD players/recorders, and which makes some suggestions about DVD hardware: The Mausoleum club org uk The link is also helpful in identifying solutions to problems encountered with DVD discs recorded with consumer equipment.
