this dvd writer will burn dvds perfectly (test them out in diffrent system). However, when i try to read a dvd with it, it crashes explorer.
I got the drivers updated to the latest and even the firmware. I ran a cleaning disc through it and still the same issue.
any suggestions besides surgery (my record for that is about 3/8... thats only 3 successful lol)?
