Thats the shortcut for making smileys. The only thing I can think of is that either you the drive's laser is faulty or you have a software issue. Try borrowing a friends burner to see if you get the same results.

If the laser was faulty, it wouldn't read anything at all...

You need a special software to burn DVDs. You can buy them cheap anywhere. Google "DVD Software".

I was burning dvd's and cd's, after I installed Anydvd I think it changes the drivers and that is why I can not durn DVD's. I changed the driver to the newer on and still nothing Any ideas?

Uninstall that "AnyDVD" completely and see what happens. If it worked before, I'd think it was a driver issue...

Is the OD still detected during POST?
