For some reason Roxio Creator Software, that came preinstalled in my Vista Laptop, won't recognize my built-in DVD burner. I wish I knew why. But I found a free software that seems to work nicely. It's called BurnAware Free Edition. I wonder if my having downloaded SP1 for Vista has caused a problem? Other programs, such as Windows Explorer have no problem recognizing the burner, so I'm pretty sure it's just Roxio with the problem.

It might be just Roxio. SP1 does have some problems with certain hardware that used to be compatible, but if you have incompatible hardware Wwindows Update shouldn't let you download SP1.

I hope it's not Roxio as I'm about to update my laptop to SP1.
Have you tried re-installing Roxio?

Clegs, Roxio came preinstalled, so as far as I know I don't have the software disc to reinstall it. Let me know how it goes for you. Meanwhile, the freebie software I found works fine.

Thought you said your vista was burning.


Happy Easter.

I put SP1 my vista box, but haven't tried burning anything yet.

I'll check it out today.


BTW, Roxio is crap bloatware. I'd suggest Nero for a full featured app suite. Otherwise there are several freeware apps that are fine for burning dvd media

I didn't want to spend $100 on Nero. Which free burning softwares do you recommend?

Just wondering, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Roxio? That may fix it.
