I have a new system with a

IDE Plexwriter 12/10/32A CD-RW model PX-W1210TA
and a Pioneer DVD drive.

It was working when I got it and I have made only minor changes- added a Network card, some USB devices, some software.

I get this error if I put the Music CD in the DVD player or the CD player:

CD Player not working properly Win Media Player cannot accurately read your CD drive digitally. Switching to reading your CD drive analog mode. Some items will not work - visual Wow, Graphics Equalizer..

There is no problem with the CD or DVD players in SYSTEM and music WILL play but not digitally.

Also, none of the Plextor Manager 2000 software will work. (The stuff to make CD copys) It says no Plextor drives found or no drive found. But CD Creator software does work and I can make CDS with that.

I can't seem to figure this one out.
I tried uninstalling all the software and reinstalling but it didn't help.

I can't uninstall Windows Media Player because it is intergrated into WinME. I did reinstall it with an online update though.

It isn't the hardware setup because like I said, it was working last week...

Thanks

Plextor Manager will only work if BOTH drives are Plextor.

Do you have a digital audio cable?

No, it even says in the manual that both drives do not have to be Plextor and also, it was working perfectly a few weeks ago. Thanks anyway and yes I do have a digital audio cable hooked up.

Hi Alysia. I know what your are talking about. Its seems like that is a little bug in Win ME .

That happened to me after about 4 weeks when using Win ME. When that happens you can't use the EQ.

Well it is good to know I didn't mess it up but that stinks!

But what about this:

Also, none of the Plextor Manager 2000 software will work. (The stuff to make CD copys) It says no Plextor drives found or no drive found. But CD Creator software does work and I can make CDS with that.

That is the software that came with the drive and I REALLY want to use it!
