Help me please, I am having problems with my pc. When I put a dvd in my dvd burner and the dvd player loads the monitor switches off amd I have to switch off the pc and start again. It has just started doing this, it was fine to start with. Last time it done this I go so mad with it I reinstalled the whole pc and I dont want to do this again HELP!!!

What burner? What OS? Is it setup as master or slave? What dvd playing software do you have?

It is a Pioneer dvr-105
OS Windows ME
It is set up as the slave drive.

As I said it was fine when it was first installed this was 2 week ago but it just started messing up today!!!!!!!!!!!

You didn't say which dvd software you are using. Also, I would set it up as master as Pioneer recommends. It solves lots of peoples problems when they make the switch.

Also the monitor switches off when I put a game in ang it goes to the start screen. It seems to do it when ever you try to use the drive?????????????

If you just installed it 2 weeks ago I am guessing this is a new drive. I would contact Pioneer for a replacement. Sounds like a faulty drive to me.

I may have found the problem. It seems to be a program called spruce up! which I used while making a backup of a dvd. i rebooted my system and checked it after every program I installed and after spruce up it done it right on chue!! But now I have uninstalled it it still dose it? Any idears, have I missed somthing when uninstalling?
