Hi,
This is my first post so first of all I would like to say hello to everyone.
I am having quit a lot of problems and I hope that someone can help me.
I just puchised a LG Super Multi DVD +R/DVD-R/DVD-RAM/CD-R Model GSA-4082. I can not get this writer to work properly for the life of me. I have a Samsung CD RW/DVD Rom SM-348B already installed from when I got my Computer which is a Dell Demension 4550 P4 2.56GHZ Prosseser with 256MB DDR Ram 333MHZ with Windows XP Home. This Writer works with no problem what so ever. I also had a HP 300i DVD+R Writer in my computer witch I am replacing with this new one, and I had no trouble getting it to work. But when I hooked up the new drive, everything seemed fine until I tryed to play a DVD Movie. The picture is choppy, and the frames seem to speed up in certin spots f the movie. Also (and this I think is very wierd) When I move the mouse curser over the movie, it gets even worse. Now I have already returned my first drive that I recieved because I tought it was a hardware defect. They tested it and found no problems what so ever. They gave me a new one and the same thing happend. I got a hold of LG's support and spent an hour trying different this with no luck. I got the latest firmware, I tried to turn off my hardware accelerator, I,ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling my Power DVD, I,ve tryed different settings in Power DVD.I,v uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, I,ve tried it as Master and Slave and by itself. I,ve tried selective startup in windows and stopped all start up programs to see if there was a problem there and still no luck. The techi I was talking to from LG said he was going to check some things out and get back to me but never did(I think he was just trying to get me off the phone).
But if I take the same dvd movie and put it in my Samsung, it works great.
So I am at a loss, and very frustrated.
If anyone can help, or If anyone has had this problem please let me know.
Thanks
