cd detecting problem....

I have a cdrw and a dvd drive both installed on a machine with winxp. (i think for this case the brand of the cdrw and dvd r irrelevant).

The problem is that everytime i insert a cd, the cd is not detected, it gives me a "incorrect function" error, i can only detect cd's if i restart the pc with them inside the cdrw or the dvd. this problem is equal to both the cdrw and dvd.

I only had this problem reacently, they were working just fine before, this has to be a software (windows) problem, since it appens on both cd/dvd drives.

Also this problems doesn't exist if i'm running windows in safe mode.

Does anyone know what the h**l is going on.

Thanks in advance

 

peteC thanks for the reply, i've seen that article, but is not my case because i don't have easy cd creator installed on my computer, i use mostly nero burning rom.

 

hello OdLink,

You seem to have a common problem:

If You can only do this in safe mode, try to diagnose the problem this way - in normal mode subtract an app one by one, or in safe mode, add.

If it's a Windows process, that's tough, hard to subtract MS's stuff.

But if it's not an app, at least you've narrowed it down some.

i got this file quarantine by norton anti-virus, because of a backdoor.trojan i had on my pc, the file is "wthunk32.dll ".

Does anyone have any idea what this file is, maby it has something to do with my problem, because has i recall it was at about the same time both things append.

 

Hello Odlink,

A search on this came up with this http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/9/3/6257/30997

No mention of your symptoms.
