I have just put in a new dvd burner but it does not work.
I have checked device manager and says that it is working ok. Can anyone suggest something please.

DVD burners are picky animals. They will only burn to the blank media (DVDs and Cds) that the DVD drive manufacturer has specified in their owners manual. Try reloading the drivers also. In the device manager go to the drive in question, right click on it and un-install it, then reboot the computer. That will reload the drivers.

Go into Device Mangler and remove the drive listing there and reboot the system. then go into the BIOS setup and verify that the drive is listed in the BIOS. SAVE the configuration, then reboot. When Windows boots, it may have to find a driver. Install the driver for the DVD if you have one, otherwise let Windows search the net for a better one. Reboot again and you should be back in business.
If not, the drive is defective.

if ur using xp u dont need any drivers for an optical drive ... first be sure if u have the drives' jumper set to master that its on the end of the ide cable ... be sure the power is plugged in .... and a dvd burner will not burn a dvd or play a dvd using windows ... u need an app like nero or recordnow to burn a dvd and somthing like powerdvd or windvd to play a dvd... see if it will read a data disk ...

Nope regrettably :(... i've got tried many circumstances too ha ha. you may even if burn different formats of video. attempt a software like nero and it provides you with the choice to burn countless categories of video clips. those video clips will play in maximum dvd gamers they only wont be in a dvd format. surprisingly cool once you employ abode windows action picture maker and make your very own video clips :)

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

My father had the same problem. You might need to get a new one. the one my father bought worked fine, it just wasn't compatible with his computer.

You probably need to install the drivers
