DVD burner ??
 

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.

MGI soft DVD max. Software.

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?
