problem with windows media player

hey all, we just went to try to burn some music off of the internet and when we opened our windows media player we got a weird message. it told us to connect a burner and restart. Our computer has a burner in it and we've never had this message before—i've had computer for a couple of years. I'm not very computer saavy but…..i've known how to burn a cd for a long while and know that this is not the usual. FYI I had a virus a couple of weeks ago and have been running my scans and they are not showing up anymore. any help would be so appreciated…. thanks

Hi connemara22,

If I recall correctly, you recently formatted and reinstalled your Operating System.
After that, you had some difficulty with Sound.
You had a warning in your Device Manager, probably indicating the Driver for your Sound Card or onboard Sound.
You reported that "I think i have it working though"
Probably as a result of installing a driver.

Now something similar may be occurring with your CD burner.

I got it working. I had to uninstall the drivers, to a few regedits and reinstall the drivers…… I'm not sure how to get this as a resolved issue….ANYONE????
