Pioneer dvd rom playback problem in xp

[doobie]

Please help me. I've just installed Windows xp and power dvd xp, but I cannot get my dvd rom to work. Power dvd seems to seek out the floppy drive each time. The dvd rom is a pioneer 105

Can anyone help?

There is a setting in the configuration area of Power DVD to set the default drive letter. However, Power DVD has a bad habit of changing it back the first few times after it's set.

Also, you may want to check the properties of your DVD-ROM in Windows and make sure it is recognized as a DVD-ROM.

It would also probably be best to install the ASAPI layer for Windows XP. The ASAPI layer allows ATA devices to interact with software such as DVD and CD-RW software. Sometimes it's needed, other times it's not. You can find the latest ASAPI layer from Adaptec in the downloads section of this site.
