| | Posted: | | | | I got a new computer. Because I changed several things after installing DVD Profiler, including the drive letters of my dvd drive and my bluray drive, DVD Profiler doesn't find them anymore. I allready tried to reinstall DVD Profiler, but changed nothing. How cann I reintegrate the drives again? |

| | Posted: | | | | If you select Tools -> Options
Does the dropdown menu under System tab have your current DVD-drive listed?
I think by default it doesn't add any drive, so you have to manually assign it. |

Because I changed several things after installing DVD Profiler, including the drive letters of my dvd drive and my bluray drive Just out of pure interest: Which drive-letters did you assign? Are the drives accessible for every authorized user of the computer? Do the drives appear in the listing when you click on "Computer"? - When uninstalling DVDProfiler did you delete all folders? - When uninstalling DVDProfiler did you delete all remnants in the registry? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

The drives appear on the listing in "computer". Also other programs, like iTunes do recognize them. Uninstalling: I used this morning again the uninstall option in the dvd profiler folder. After this, there was no folder at "programs x86" anymore. Didn't find anywhere another folder. I also checked the registry. There I found two different entrys, I deleted them both. Also I restartet the system before installing dvd profiler again. |

There I found two different entrys, I deleted them both. Also I restartet the system before installing dvd profiler again. I would recoomend against using drive letters a and b. The "PC standard" assigns those to diskette drives in the BIOS. Maybe new computers don't have this issue, but why press your luck. The system drive is C:, so I would assign hard drives staring with D:. | | | Thanks for your support.

The drive-letters are a and b Thought so. Drive letters A: and B: are still reserved for Floppy-drives (for some obscure legacy reasons I guess) almost no program will search these for optical discs. Change the drive letters to a value higher than C: and everything will be OK. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

I don't believe you can use drive letters A or B for your DVD/Blu-ray drives. Drive letter A is for a floppy disc drive and B for a secondary floppy to be used for bootable media. That's what most system Bios support. Although CD-ROMs that boot using floppy emulation are also given the drive letter A.

| | Posted: | | | | Oh, thank you both. This works. I know that a and b was for floppys. But I don't use them anymore, so I thought I could replace them with the DVD/Bluray drives. Everthing works now.  |

I have no problems to access an optical drive named B with the operating system or other programs, and my BIOS is already three and a half years old. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.
