Sonic Record Now Error Message
For some reason I am getting a error message when I try to open sonic record now. The error msg. is ( no compatible recordable or rewritable devices could be found on your system ).When I close the msg. window it closes sonic as well. I can use roxio , musicmatch ,sonic dvd or !click dvd to burn with and I don't have a problem. I deleted the program and reloaded it and I still get the same msg. I did a restore to an earlier date and that didn't help. The program has been working fine up until now.Has anyone had or having this problem? If so any ideas what might be the cause of the problem? Even though I have several other programs to do the samething I like the program because it is easy to work with.

I'm running version 5 of roxio. the first thing I had to do when I was reloading the sonic program was to remove roxio completely. Sonic prompted me to remove it before continuing. I'm at a total loss about what has happened to sonic219

If you didn't uninstall Roxio as I noted and then Restart Windows before installing Sonic it may not have removed whatever is causing the problem. When you uninstall Roxio V5, it leaves two folders in the Programs File folder and some registry elements and why you have to run the roxizap.exe to get rid of the leftover components. If Roxio is what is causing the conflict and problem with Sonic.

What version of Roxio do you have? I had one customer that had an OEM Sonic on his system and also Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum. He was having problems with Sonic not finding any burner drives. After working with it for a while I discovered (by dumb luck) that Roxio was causing the problem - but I had to completely uninstall Roxio - usning the Add/Rrmove software and then running roxizap.exe to completely remove it. Then restarted Windows XP and Sonic was "happy". I reinstalled Roxio and the updates for the version 5 and both are now running OK. It was a strange problem. It may not be the problem on your system but something to consider.
The roxizap.exe was downloaded from the Roxio site. Don't know if they still have that available.
