TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TSL462D ATA Device Issues

I have a new issue with my CDRWDVD drive. I have an Inspiron 9400/E1705 laptop. I burned a data cd from my work computer with about ten mp3's i wanted to transfer to my laptop. When I insert the disc it says it wants to format it and then it says it is write protected. I cannot open it and look at the files or try to explore the cd. It just keeps telling me it wants to format it for use. I put the disk into my wifes HP laptop an it read it just fine. As soon as i put it in it asked me if i wanted to open and view the files. Yep they were all there. I have had numerous problems with this drive. Yesterday it would not allow Itunes or Windows Media Player to burn an audio cd, out of nowhere. I had burned cd's numerous times before. That was fixed with a driver download. Does anybody have an answer for my current problem though? Why wont it read my cd? Any suggestions. I feel like this thing is slowly falling apart.

Do you have DLA on your system?  If yes, disable it or remove it,

then try again to see it that is causing the problem.

DLA is packet writing software that comes with Roxio and Sonic. 

 

Disable Sonic DLA:

 

- Click the Start button
- Double-click on the My Computer icon
- In the My Computer window, right-click on the CD device then choose Properties
- On the CD Drive Properties screen, click on the DLA tab, then remove the
  checkmark from Enable DLA on your drives
- Click the OK button, then restart computer

There is no DLA tab or anything marked DLA when I look at the drives properties. I am using Windows Vista 32 bit, does that make a difference?

Vista, I am new at Vista.  The Vista built-in burning software is active.
what is happening, I think, is the AutoPlay may be set up that way.  Check
the setup of AutoPlay under Default Programs.

 

Other than the Vista burning software, what burning software is installed

on your system?
