DLA not working
I recently had a problem where my cd burner wouldnt work and this was fixed by bacillus using the registry edit. My question is does the registry edit remove the DLA functionality from the drive because the drive had it before and i had used it but no the option seems to have been deleted.
ps how do i change my font and font color of a post i dont see any options to do so?
Thanks again to those who may help!!

This is why I suggested returning the unit for a refund rather than hacking the registry and troubleshooting brand new Dell out-of-the-box defective hardware. You waste your return period and you end up in the muck with a lemon. Happy frustrations with the Dell tech support Indians.

I have the problem with the software and even when I go to drive properties the supposed "DLA" tab is missing almost as if the drive lost all DLA compatability.
BTW I had already passed the warrenty up by a few weeks.
- The corruption of the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters showed up with the
release of Windows XP. It was first discovered to happen by the
uninstallation of ROXIO burning software. ROXIO had about 90% of the
market at the time and was used as standard by Dell for new systems.
That is why both the Dell and Microsoft procedures refer to ROXIO.
The later Microsoft procedure added Nero to the list.
Later it was discovered that the installation or uninstallation of some
programs (not necessarily burning software) can also cause the problem.
This is a Windows XP problem, not a hardware problem. In some cases, after
the removal of the filters, the burning software requires reinstallation.
Many Users, upon receiving their new computer, remove the burning
software and install their own, or they begin removing programs from
the factory and begin installing their own. Then one day they have the
corruption of the filters. It is now a very common event the is easily
corrected.

If you find this to be the case then you will have to uninstall the "offending" program then reinstall it in order to regain its functionality.
