Thanks for your response and yes it's my burner that isn't being detected. Its a
Hewlett Packard cd writer plus external. I was told to change my parallel port to
EPP instead of ECP. To do that I had to go into my system bios (I have a compaq)
and change the settings which was 'supposed' to automatically change it to EPP. OK,
I did that and it didn't work. What did work was doing that plus removing my printer,
deleting the SCM PPort ADAPI Adapter and restarting my computer. It managed to find
my burner and install the drivers for the adapter.
Only thing now is my computer is running seriously slow, whenever I try to access
my computer or the control panel, etc. My system locks up and I see the flash light
icon searching for folders. I ended up doing a system restore just to get my computer
to function again and I'm back to square one. ugghhh
