Did you try to uninstall the drive itself, as I asked you?
Try that, first.

If that doesn't help, uninstall these:
-IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
-IDE Channel
-IDE Channel
-IDE Channel
-IDE Channel

Restart computer.

Hi Broni,

Yes I did uninstall the drive first, then rebooted, still no change. I uninstalled the above items in your last post and after rebooting these items are now in device manager -

-IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
ATA Channel 0
ATA Channel 0
ATA Channel 1
ATA Channel 1
Intel® ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 2926
Intel® ICH9 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 2920

The problem is still there I'm afraid.

I'm getting clueless here.
I'd try the drive on another computer.

[graisbeck]

I'm afraid I don't have another computer to try it on.

[Broni]

Well, tell you what...you can pick up brand new DL DVD burner for under $50.

[graisbeck]

But like you said it's probably some process which is stopping the drive from working. I can burn and open the music cd-roms no problem in safe mode.

[Broni]

That's true, but we disabled all non-M$ services, and it didn't help, so maybe it's something wrong with the drive afterall.

Hello graisbeck,

here I am many years later having the same problem with you. I wonder if you found a solution in the end and if you still remember it now?
So the problem is that when I put an audio CD in the CD/DVD drive and click its icon it says: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

If I right click on it, though, then select "Open" in the menu, it opens normally and shows the files.
Also, I can play the CD if I using VLC Media Player, Winamp etc.
Third tip: in Safe Mode it works.
Other tip: it also works with data CDs(CD-ROMs).

Any advice?

My system is Windows 7 Home Premium and my CD/DVD drive is a "Slimtype DVD A DS8A5SH"

Have you checked that auto play is enabled;

Go to Start > Control panel > Type autoplay in the search box > Select autoplay > Select use autoPlay for all media and devices and then Save the new settings.

Hello phillpower2,

OK good idea I made a new post here.

Enabling AutoPlay for all devices didn't help. Autoplay works but i still get the permission message. Let's continue on the above post if you wish.

Thank you,
Adrien
