Microstudio automatically detects all CDROM/CDR drives installed in your computer. Then, it queries each drive as to whether it can read and write the required CDG format. If a drive answers back that it CANNOT do CDG, then Microstudio DOES NOT show it in the Reading Drive or Writing Drive list boxes when Karaoke or CDG is selected. The actual drive tells Microstudio what it IS capable of. Microstudio cannot overcome a hardware deficiency in the drive.

In spite of what you have been told, your drive is NOT capable of reading or writing the CDG format.

The demo you are running is Microstudio 2.312. We are currently shipping version 2.314 that has a Detect Drives button. This displays a window listing all CDROM/CDR drives found on your computer and if they are Karaoke and Audio capble. This allows you to see that Microstudio is really detecting your drives, even if they do not appear in the Drives list boxes for Karaoke or CDG operations.
