dunno what happened, went to burn a disc then nero asked me to choose a recorder, none were listed, so I pondered, check explorer and there was how D drive (which my burner was), checked hardware manager and it was disabled, tried to enable it and couldn't, anyoen have any bright ideas? I tried checking for new hardware or changes and nada. There have been no changes to this machine is nearly 6 months, its been running like a champ. By the way this is error 22 and the dimwits at microsofts website had this to say "(Code 22) The device is disabled because a user disabled it using Device Manager.
Click Enable Device, which starts the Enable Device wizard." Which doesnt work!

Try right-clicking on the drive's entry in Device Manager and click "uninstall". Then reboot and see if it is enabled.
