i just recently formatted and reinstalled XP. my cdrw (plextor 24x) and DVD drive had no porblems with my old XP installation. now, my problem is, when i change cd's or dvd's, it doesnt update when i click on my computer. so if i'm playing gta3 and i take the cd out, it still says gta3. also, i just updates my 4 in 1 drivers and my cdrw buffer read goes from 90% down to 1% and back and forth and it slows down my machine. it never did this on my previous install! i did have this problem in the beginning of the new installation, but fixed it with the xp burning patch and a cdrw firmware upgrade. once i installed the new 4 in 1 drivers, it all went to hell.
 
refreshing doesn't do a thing. the more important issue is my burning issue. thanks for the info.
 
in case this happens to anyone else i solved both issues by reinstalling the primary and secondary IDE drivers.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
