thats' a lot of work just to get the cd/dvd to work, in imy opinion, it would be easy to just plugged in an ext. one..

It wasn't just the CD drive, it was ALL of Vista. An external CD drive is just one more load on the system.

XP has run flawlessly sincce downgrading. We'll wait to see how Windows 7 handles things, but probably will stick with XP due to the lower overhead.

I guess that the good news is that Windows 7 sucks less than Vista.

Exactly, I have heard for years that Vista sucks. So what did I do, nothing, no need to upgrade to something that rarely works (with the many other DJ programs I use as well). And..yes..Windows 7 STILL works only a bit better than vista did, with all the programs I work with. As a result, I have found no need to create problems so I have stayed with XP service pack 3, plain and simple.

I use what works best and stay with it. Simple concept.

Apart from the original CD drive problem, having set my computer up as recommended I have not experienced any other problems with using Vista I think that MTU have ironed out all the bugs now. I think I would wait a while though before going over to Windows 7, give Microsoft time to sort out any bugs there

I have triple checked the settings recommended by MTU with the end result being the same. I am convinced that it rests in the Matshita drive firmware NOT with Vista or MTU. The drive will create CDG's that will play on my other units (6 in varying configurations) but all I get out of these two laptops is a "click, click, click, click, click" on playback.

I don't worry about it any more, I just plug in my external Plextor CD writer drive that I have had for some years now and still performs flawlessly.
