The Drive icon does indeed change - it shows a disc when there's one in there, or a diskdrive if it's empty. However, it won't actually play the disc. If you click on the disc icon, it brings up the 'insert a disc in Drive D' dialogue', and if you press OK, it opens the drive. Re-inserting the disc makes no difference. No amount of refreshing helps.It seems to be recognising that a disc is there physically but can't see what it is, and certainly can't play it. All this is resolved by rebooting. The Microsoft link you gave me is for XP but I am running Win7 (Ult, 64bit).

Both 'Cancel AutoPlay' and 'Play data (and audio) discs automatically' are ticked. AutoInsert is also ticked. These are the defaults, I haven't changed anything. I found the old thread that talked about this and followed the advice to refresh etc, but it didn't help. Essentially, after burning a new dvd, Win7 doesn't acknowledge it or any other disk in the drive. Oddly, on insertion/refresh the drive icon changes from the 'empty drive' to a DVD icon, but if I click on it the system asks me to insert a disk and ejects the one already in there. I don't do a lot of copying so this isn't a huge problem, but it is annoying to have to reboot everytime you want to check a newly-burnt DVD, or play another one. Any ideas what might be going wrong on the system? There are no other DVD-burning programmes on it, and just the native Windows CD-burning one. Kate

Hi, I'm finding that after burning a DVD I have to reboot the computer (DellXPS15, Win7/64 Ult) before the CD drive will read either the newly-burned DVD or even an old one. I found an old thread that suggested enabling/disabling an option 'autoplay/insert' would help this. Unfortunately I can't find this option, not the thread that suggested it again. Can you help? I am using the latest ImgBurn version. Kate
