Windows DVD Maker completely broken!

It worked about a week ago. But now, it crashes if it sits for about 30 seconds, or it reaches 14.6% in the burning process. Every single time, without fail.

I hate Vista soooo bad!

Why you don't install win XP ?

Money, dude. Or else I would totally burn the Vista disc and everything related AT THE STAKE!

Until then, I need a fix.

Burning software, like whatever you were using to burn DVDs in XP might still work in Vista.

Never did it in XP. I just got started a few months ago with video projects. I have Roxio, but it won't read any of my videos.

Try right clicking the program and "Run as Administrator"

I give up with my computer. I hope my friend will let me use his for a lot of my crap.

Can you burn cds/dvds in any other programs?

Red_5 · Post by **Red_5** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 5:17 pm

I can do data CDs/DVDs with Roxio, but now that you mention it, Vista's data CD writing wizard is completely broken as well. It was broken from the start, and I have proven it on several other computers.

I've had no issues with it in Vista, I have Vista on all of my systems. Have you updated the firmware for your drive?

Red_5 · Post by **Red_5** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 6:45 pm

Didn't know I could. It worked about 3 weeks ago...?

Does it work in a clean boot or in safemode?

Edit: Double post fixed.

Wait ... Didn't you say it was broken from the start (Vista's wizard)?

Yep, you did.

Sooo... to clarify ... Has Vista's data CD writing wizard ever worked on that system?

Please also clarify, how did you prove it was broken on several other computers?

The DVD Maker worked about three weeks ago, and the data CD writing wizard was broken from the start. I proved this with several CDs which I received from my friends/family (pictures, music, video, etc) and all of them that were done on Vista showed up as either blank or only having like one file on them. Needless to say, I have informed my friends/family and we have all gone on flash drive sprees.

Sounds like the session was not closed, something that vista does not do automaticly.
