Comment:

I have recently upgraded to windows me, i got everything working fine, but when i try to install my cdrecorder it takes the place of the cd-rom. When i check in the device manager it lists both under the cdrom selection. The cd-recorder is e: but that is my cdrom drive letter, I can't change any of the drive letters. The problems disappear when I reboot with the cdrecorder off. any help would be appreciated.

cannot change drive letters, when i reboot with my cd recorder on, it seems like it takes the place of the cdrom. When i check it in device manager the drive letters are stuck on e: for both cdrom and recorder. The cdrom is blank under the currently assigned letter.
