Harry Reid CD detect issue

[Harry Reid]

First of all I would like to apologize for posting in the wrong area, I'm new to the form.
I did try opening V3.4 then going back to V4.08 and it still indicates that my cd drives are bad, however when I hit cancel and Hoster opens it will now read a disk in my internal cd drive; I do not have my external drive with me so I can't tell you if it is going to recognize it or not.
Thank you very much for the help.

At least this will do as a work-around until the real culprit is found and executed

Harry,
4.08 indicates that my CD/DVD device is bad, like yours. Hitting "Cancel" anytime you see the Select CD/DVD device window is the only fix I can find. Just concider it a Nag Screen and carry on. I don't work for MTU but I think I can safely say that this bug will be squashed very soon.

I too am having the same problem but I don't understand the solution. I try to load a song at a show at it says "you must first define a CD/DVD read drive" after I do a cancel???????

[Harry Reid]

I went back to the oldest version I had, I believe it was 3.4, opened it and had it recognize my cd drive that I use to load a disk at a show (mine is D drive) and saved it.
I then closed that version and re-opened 4.8 and hit cancel when it ask for a default drive and mine started working when I want to import/load someones disk at a show.
Prior to opening the older version and saving the (D) default drive I could not get mine to work in 4.8.
I believe the "key" is to saving the drive in the older version.
Hope this helps.

4.08 will not ask me for a default version again. I can go into the tools and retest but a cancel there does not accomplish a thing. I'm stuck in limbo

Thanks for you help

I did go back to 3.4 and made sure the drive worked fine. But when I went back to 4.08 it took me straight to the main Hoster screen, not to the drive screen like it should.
