HP DVD 1040 i [View All]

[Steerpike]

Installed a DVD burner/player into my computer a month or two ago. It worked just fine. I use windows xp and run 2 gigs of ram. Just lately when I try to burn a CD I get the error messege that no burner is recognized. I've burned lots of CD's before with no problem at all. The Device will still play DVD movies and will play CD music but it will not burn. I deleted it from the computer hoping that it would reinstall the drivers from windows but nothing changed. I've used a couple of different software programs and they all say they cannot find a burner on my computer...hmmmm...any suggestions? Does HP really suck? I went to their website and could not find the drivers for this device. Something else kinda weird...the box says it is a 1040i, but my device manager calls it a 1040d.
Next time I'll just get a sony...
