dels Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have been using DVD flick for a couple of years on my desktop with no problems. Recently I purchased a laptop with vista on it and installed DVD flick ,all was fine until imgburn tried to burn it to a blank DVD (verbatim ) and it just stopped on writing lead in and stayed there for about 40 min. I stopped DVD flick and imgburn but the disc would not eject so I uninstalled them reinstalled them and tried again with the same results. Any ideas Darren I 16:41:23 ImgBurn Version 2.4.3.0 started!

mmalves Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 What happens if you right-click on ImgBurn and choose Run as Administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Use unlocker / process explorer to find out what's using the drive - read the FAQ for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dels Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 well that works fine. I can not believe the answer was so simple. I presumed Administrator meant when you log on to windows like on my xp desktop. This my solve some of my other problems. should of stuck to xp. any way thanks a lot mmalves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If it happens again while running as administrator then try LUK's approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 So a 'normal' account in vista doesn't work but an admin one does? (I assume UAC is enabled but it never prompts?) That doesn't really make sense. Running as admin is an awful way to do things really, you can''t then D+D into the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
