Uwe,

This code is working fine here on Vista Ultimate:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function Main()

   MsgInfo( Len( aDrives( 2 ) ) )

return nil

Hello,

I found out the reason for error-message.

With a new update from Microsoft for Vista,
i got a not working driver for my Sony-DVD-RW.
The function < adrives() > checks all drives
and couldn,t detect the DVD-RW

I got the message : < No drive > because of the
not working driver.

Best Regards
Uwe

I found a solution, how to fix the vista-driver-problem
for my SONY-DVD-RW :



Windows Vista:
Driver-problem : CD/DVD-Drive doesn't work anymore
( Errorcode 39 ) Tecnical problem

It is a known ERROR in Windows.
Mostly, it can be a problem with a burning-suite.

To make the CD-drive working again :

1. Start REGEDIT

2. Look for : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > "System" and
"CurrentControlSet" > "Control" > "Class".

3. Open {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.

4. There you have to delete the Registryvalue "UpperFilters"
and "LowerFilters"

The CD-drive will be visible again.
