Found a fix on Microsoft's web site. Something called the Windows File And Folder Troubleshooter.
-
I've got a case where I'm changing the View options of some folders in Windows Explorer. When I close off the window of that folder, though, and navigate back to it in My Computer, the View option is no longer what I set it at. Any idea how I can fix this? Something like resetting the Icon Cache for folder Views?

I checked the properties of the file and Windows lists that the file has NO owner! What I ended up doing was using Unlocker to Delete the file and I just got the file again off of the web site I had retrieved it from to begin with.
-
I've got a file I can't open, can't copy, and can't delete! It says I need to do these actions under Administrator privileges or to contact the owner. I AM the fucking Administrator and I AM the fucking owner! What the Hell can I do?

After seeing some more of the unedited versions of these episodes (Comedy Central had to censor them here in the US.) it seems you can say fucking but not fuck. Stephen Fry and Josie Lawrence said fucking many times but Greg Proops gets bleeped for saying fuck. So, you can apparently say fucking but not fuck, and you can probably only say fucking if you're British. If you're American, you get bleeped.

I've never heard of a 5.22 GB DVD-5. Even as a conspiracy theory.

Here's something on it: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2014/03/29/dvd_ripping_legalized_uk?utm_source=newsletterENG&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20140404

I was watching some Season 9 episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway, the British version that aired on Channel Four, I'm guessing, going by the copyright credits. I was wondering something. Can you not say the word fuck on British TV, yet you can say anything else? I saw things in these episodes like naked bums and breasts and people saying goddamn, pussy, and shit, but they bleeped Greg Proops when he said the word fuck.

Discovered this drive doesn't like Ritek 6x DVD-RW. It will write to them, but the discs cannot be verified because the contents cannot be read! Insert them into any drive just causes the drive light to keep flashing. But, most drives don't like these discs, anyway! Only the LiteOns seem to write to these discs correctly.
-
I read this, but I have to wonder, given today's date, if it's not just an April Fool's Day joke. Is it true the UK is about make it legal to copy CD/DVD/Blu-Ray discs that you own? And that you can copy them to mobile devices and view them how you wish to view them, rather than being locked down to whatever format Hollywood dictated? That as long as you keep the physical copy you bought/were given, you can have a copy for backup purposes? If that is true, would this make the UK the first country to legalize what should always have been legal in the first place?

So, I guess Windows 8's install disc is now a DVD-9? I would guess it would have to be considering about half of Windows 8 must be devoted to the OS restore function files.

Saw a field called Disc Time Stamp under BD Disc Information. What is this field? Is it just the date of manufacture of the BD-R disc? I saw the field was 03/2010, not an exact date, so I was wondering if it was just the month and year the BD-R was manufactured. Also, is there a way to tell when a disc was burned with ImgBurn? Is there some kind of field somewhere that records this information on a BD-R/other disc? If there is, what is it and how can I see it/see it with ImgBurn? I know ImgBurn burned this disc and that it was another BD-R that was read to an image file in ImgBurn.

What software are you using to mount the image? Slysoft's Virtual CloneDrive will mount .DVD files. So, you may want to try swtiching your emulating software. However, I have to worry it may not be an issue with your mounting software but an error in the image itself. Try this. Open ImgBurn and select Write mode. Drag and drop/open the .DVD file for this image. See if it opens correctly and check the Size listed on the left side pane. If it says it's 40 MB, then there's some kind of error in the image and there's nothing that can probably be done. If it says it's 8 GB, then I can only say it's the mounting software.

I just tested Hibernate from the Start Menu Shut Down options and it worked!
-
That seems to have done it! Thanks! At least it's (I originally typed leas tits! Shows where my mind is! ) shown up in the Shut Down options now. I've not tested it yet. I wonder why it wasn't enabled to start with.

I don't have a Suspend to RAM option in my BIOS that I could find anywhere. Here's what I got from the command line utility: The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S1 S3 ) The following sleep states are not available on this system: Standby (S2) The system firmware does not support this standby state. Hibernate Hibernation has not been enabled. Hybrid Sleep So, it says Hibernation has not been enabled. How can I enable it then? Actually, what that utility returned isn't entirely accurate! I DO have Hibernate enabled, in a way, because I can Hibernate the PC with PowerOff's Hibernate option. It's just not enabled in that it doesn't appear as an option in my Start Menu's Shut Down button.
-
That was the setting that I found on Google that wasn't there under the Power Options. I don't have that tab under my options. Well, I have a Sleep tab, but only 2 items under that and none of them are for Allow hybrid sleep. I only have Sleep after and Allow wake timers.

According to Amazon.com, Verbatim has discontinued its brand of BD-R DL discs with inket printable labels. Can its inkjet BD-R discs be far behind? The only BD-R's Amazon.com seems to have in stock are the branded ones with WAY too little label space on them. Too much shit on them, with their logo, capacity, speed, etc. The inkjet printable ones are listed as in stock but take 1 to 3 weeks to ship. Which essentially means they don't have them.

I have no Hibernate option on my PC. I've NEVER had Hibernate. I've even tried the Hibernate function in PowerOff, but it doesn't work. I have Sleep, but not Hibernate. I Googled it and it was suggested to try disabling Hybrid Sleep. I tried to change it in Power Options, but where it was said there should be a Hybrid Sleep tab, there was no tab of settings to change! I have a Dell XPS 8300 from 2011 and am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Google also said I should check my BIOS settings to make sure power options are set. My power settings were only for charging USB devices while the PC was off and to turn on the power at set times of day. Is it just that some PC's don't support Hibernate? EDIT: Actually, it seems now I DO have Hibernate enabled. I tried PowerOff's Hibernate again and it works. So, I do have Hibernate, but I don't have Hibernate in my Shut Down options in the Start Menu. Is there something I can do to enable Hibernate in my Start Menu?

And I had said before it was related to just DVD-9 VIDEO_TS jobs. Turns out it only appeared to be that way to me because I was only building those kinds of jobs. After I discovered it appeared to only be started by reading discs to images, I did some more tests. Because in the past I had been building jobs and then reading the burnt discs to image files to check their readability. So, there would be a Build and then a Read. And it seems this Read that adds files to the queue is what is causing my issue. That after a Read, I have to manually add the image being Built by using recent files.
-
Hm, it's odd that you had to shutdown twice for it to release control of the drive. If it didn't do it the first time, frankly, it shouldn't have done it the second! But, I say, when you deal with PC's/Windows, whatever works is good.
-
Remember probably over a year ago I posted about how Built DVD-9 Video_TS image files weren't showing up in the queue after being created and I had to manually load them via the recent files? I'm guessing it was over a year ago because I did a search for my posts and it only listed up to March 22, 2013. Unless there's a way to increase the search for the time of a post was made. I believe I've discovered something else related to it. I noticed it seemed to have stopped! Then, it reappeared and I think I know why. This seems to only happen after a Read mode to an image adds an image file to the queue. If I did a string of Builds, the image labels changed, showing that the image, even though the name is always the same, was being loaded. But, if I did a Read of a disc to an image file and ImgBurn added that file to the queue, I'd have to manually load the image file name from the recent files after each Build after the Read.

I have received the newer kind of these Verbatim DVD+R DL's with inkjet labels that are now hub printable. They're made in the United Arab Emirates, but the Manufacturer ID is still MKM, the same manufacturer as the ones made in Sinapore. I haven't burned one yet, but the indications are the UAE made ones are probably as good as the ones made in Singapore.

Yes, shut down Windows, power off the PC, wait a minute, then power the PC back on. Try to eject the drive before Windows starts to see if it's not Windows still holding on to the drive even after Windows starts to see.
-
Does the eject button on the drive itself still work? If not, first, try to manually eject the disc that failed with the little hole in the drive and remove the disc. Then, if you haven't tried it yet, try powering off your computer, leave it off for a minute, and restart it.
