I have two drives listed.
PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W5224A
SONY DVD RW DRU-840A
Both are shown to read and write karaoke and neither can be used to play a disc with Microstudio. I can create discs that will play in karaoke machines, and with other software, without a problem.

have you tried updating the drivers/firmware?..

back to your post #5 how are you creating a disc, when you import a disc on ms is the progress bar moving or just blinks..if it just blinks your drivers are not ms supported anymore.i have 3 ext. cd/dvd burners . all 3 of them works, progress bar actually runs, and my int. will just blink but when i import a disc, but it will actually says imported.. used to work but when i upgraded to a version prior to 4.06 my int. drive will read but its unable to write..when you click play the screen just goes blank..

Problem solved, though I still don't know what caused it. I uninstalled Microstudio, rebooted, reinstalled and rebooted again. Plays discs with no a problem now.

Thank you to those who responded.

Glad you got it. Usually it isn't that simple which is why we were all digging for information. It may have been an update that changed something Microstudio didn't like and by re-installing MS reset whatever it was.
