Thanks for posting. I thought this was supposed to be managed
newsgroups...if someone posts here and has not obtained a resolution a
microsoft support tech is supposed to reply. My system keeps getting more
unstable. PhotoDraw is not responding for several minutes at a time, and I'm
getting odd anomolies in the graphics that I'm pushing through the clipboard.
I guess my only option is to revert to a previous system retore point and
hope it solves my problem.

computer to access USB/1394 mass storage drives but no one has responded to
my post. it happens with anything I try to install or when I connect a USB
flash drive or hard drive to the machine. this was a brand new machine, so I
don't think your working with Visual Studio had nothing to do with your
problem.

I searched and found what should be a solution in a similar post by Moses
on
5/14/2007 titled, "Prohibited access to CD?DVD ROM drives". However, it
is
not working in my case.
I got the same message as that user did, ""Administrator has prohibited
access to CD/DVD ROM drives." However, The MS-MVP Wesley Vogel initially
pointed to this web site: http://www.boyce.us/gp/gpcontent.asp?ID=549. I
looked and I don't have any registry key of
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!NoViewOnDrive
and neither did Moses. Then Vogel suggested using gpedit.msc, but I'm not
sure if that worked for Moses because he didn't post again. However, I've
tried it and it has not fixed my problem. I cannot access my CD/DVD
drives.
It started when I was working with Visual Studio and the MODI class,
drawing
class, graphics class, and bitmap class to select portions of images and
save
them as tiff files and performing OCR. During debugging (there is a
seperate
Debugger Administrative account by the way which may be part of this
issue) I
encountered protected memory access violations and had to reboot. I got
the
message saying the Administrator disabled the CD/DVD drives when Windows
XP
restarted.
At first I could see the drives in My Computer, but when I opened them
there
was nothing there, and when I launch a game which requires the DVD that is
in
my drive it says it's not there. The MVP in the .net.framework.drawing
newsgroup suggested that I remove and reinstall the drivers. Well, now I
don't even see the drives listed in My Computer!
I'm now stuck without the use of my CD/DVD drives! I need help! Thank
You.
