his are not realtek...his are cmedia...so far no vista driver yet...

Hey guys, I got a problem to relate on the Vista. Got myself a Vista Ultimate recently it was all good, however, to my surprise, Vista wasn't able to read my previously burned DVD+r or CD-R discs and it either keep ejecting the disc out or nothing showing under the DVD drive itself. My DVD-RW drive is Pioneer DVR-110D for your information. Btw, the burned disc reads fine under Windows XP. Any thoughts?

edit: Just an update, I tried the burned media on my mate's laptop, whose running Vista too, works perfectly well. Hmm, does that mean my dvd-rom need a little tweakage? Or do you guys reckon NVIDIA PCI management thingy has got to do with this? My motherboard is ASUS A8N-SLI, nForce 4 chipset. Cheers.


Edit2: Actually guys, I just reboot my PC and now it reads the discs fine. Weird but anyway, thanks for looking at my problem.

I'm using Cmedia audio .

So far I didn't need to install the driver because the Windows automatically installed when it was formated.
I kinda weird for certain people who didn't get their sound installed.

u are lucky liao..
mine said 'no audio devices installed'..
haizz..

-adios-

I use the old XP driver for Cmedia and it works fine

Anyone here ever use DVD RW/ROM Drive with Sata instead of IDE drive?

I guess Sata DVD Drives are better in Vista rig.

Until now, Vista is problematic with third party software regarding the compatiblity issue. I still much prefer XP.
A lot of softwares still won't work correctly. There is not much an issue when XP first lauched.

But has not much complaint besides the third party software compatiblity, it seems load faster than XP or just the machine is new. May be need to wait awhile before the drivers and compatibility issues being rectified.

u should try to do like wat linkinstreet did...the page that i gave u contains an old xp driver for your on board audio...try and install that...

haiz..
how come this thing happen..?
weird..
vista totally give me headache


-adios-

Don;t use that setup. go to device manager, and choose the one that has the '?' icon. That should be your sound device. right click and choose update driver. after that choose the folder that contains the Cmedia driver. That what I usually do anyways

ic..
thx a lot dude..
now I can enjoy vista..
hehe..

-adios-

You can either update ur burner software to latest version. This can be found on ur Burner manufacturer website.

At last solve this problem by uninstalling XPCodec.
Now using K Lite Mega pack. At first was using k-Lite full but cannot play .rmcb file. Now only i know that K Lite Mega Pack can play .rmvb.
Problem solved!

Wowoweee, sooooooooooooo many issues with windows Vista. I envied my friend when he bought his home basic edition. Now... not so much.

I want directx 10, I want windows media player 11, I want better security, I want stability.

But I absolutely dont want to stab my eyes with a fork when vista decided to rape me without a condom.

So ....... should I wait for Vista to weed out the bugs and compatibility issues and for the major component/software manufacturers to catch up with vista?

Before I dive into unknown territories?

For RM305, it's quite cheap though.

which version is better? home basic or premium?

FYI: I've tried IE7, so much bugs I can open an insect muzium with it.

Get Home Premium better.... got the AERO glass interface.


Btw, WMP11 can be installed on XP too..

Can somebody answer my question on the buggyness of windows Vista?

Is it worth the headache to get it now? Or wait for it to mature? Patch itself up ?

off topic: Vista ultimate edition better in terms of what?

Wait for at least SP1 is my advice.
