imgburn problem

[Gyro69]

Imgburn is now reporting my dvd burner as ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ (D and the Disc ID: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ-ÿÿÿ-255 It also wants to format my Duel layer dvds. Was working right, don't know what happened. Any ideas?

Thanks

Flashed the drives firmware recently?

Never have. Both bios and system, hardware are reporting the drive right. sony dvd rw dru-840a

Do you have a restore point before this happened but that won't hose something else if you restore? Another approach might be to uninstall and reinstall Imgburn. You might have a corrupted registry setting. After uninstall you could try CCleaner and see if it reports any registry issues. I generally don't clean my registry unless I see a problem since it is risky. But you can either create a restore point or use ERUNT to make a backup of your registry state first.

You might also make a note of all your Imgburn settings(maybe via screen shots.. a bit tedious but better than nothing.)

Or it may be something simple like a corrupted font. I don't know if there's a setting to change the font Imgburn uses.

I ran both CC and Hijackthis and the problem was gone after a restart. I really don't know why, only a few registry problems that didn't look to have anything to do with the drive or Imgburn. Same with hijack, nothing I fixed seemed related. Have to wait and see I guess.

Spoke to soon. The drive is reported right. The dual layer dvds are still Disc ID: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ-ÿÿÿ-255. Imgburn still wants to format them. Single Layer dvd's seem right.

Update.

I'm wondering if my dvd burner is the source of the problem. I loaded a blank +Rdl and noticed the drive took a long time to read the disk. After a few minutes of drive light blinking, I check the drive with Windows Explorer and found the drive reporting a CD loaded. That would account for Imgburn wanting to format the disk if the drive defaulted to a CD as type loaded.

New version fixed the duel layer problem. ImgBurn now reports a duel layer disk in current profile. I haven't done anything else to fix the problem
