When i try to burn a CD it said no CD recorder found. I am running WinME the burner is Philips CDD4851 CD-R/RW. I am using Easy CD Creator 5. Any ideas on why the burner is not found, when i insert a cd it reads it ok it's just not recognized as a burner.

has the cd ever worked as a burner? or is this the first time you've installed it?
can you right click on my computer > manage > device manager?
look for any yellow ? or ! within device manager

it's probably gonna say something about a driver....you can go to the phillips website and download the drivers and firmware for your drive and install those...it may fix the problem
