Mustang Productions Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I've had a look round the forum and haven't found anything else on this subject so posting what I think is a fresh issue. I use a laptop with wireless for day to day work but the DVD burner is in another machine that I remote desktop onto using the Vista Remote Desktop. The OS of the machine with the burner in is Vista Ultimate SP1 Quad Core 3GB Ram. When I launch ImgBurn through the RD program, it doesn't detect the drive in the machine for some reason although I can see it fine through explorer etc. Should I then physically go to the machine with the drive in and take over the remote session, the drive then magically is detected. Has any one else come across this issue? Edited February 14, 2009 by Mustang Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Open ImgBurn by right-clicking on it and choosing Run As Administrator. Does this solve your problem? If not, please post the log generated by the program (View -> Log if you closed it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 There's a group policy setting to make drives available to non-local users, it's nothing at all to do with ImgBurn... it's all Windows's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Productions Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Actually not that lazy. I managed to break my leg in 3 places so am laid up at the moment hence having to use a laptop with WiFi. The wife is being kind enough to swap the media over when I ask Thanks to all for the responses. Can't believe I didn't think of GP being the reason. Just tried Nero the same way and yep that's affected exactly the same. ImgBurn Rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
