Sonic Programs doesn't detect drives.

OS Win.XP SP3. Dell Dim.4600...Pentiun 4 CPU 2.80GHz...768 MB RAM.

Hello, I just tried to use Sonic software to download a program to my dvd (E) drive. I get a message that says drive not detected. I've had this pc for 4 years & have never had a problem with sonic.
All help will be appreciated,

Have you tried any other software, such as http://majorgeeks.com/DeepBurner_Free_d4055.html?

This will let you know if its Sonic or the hardware/driver itself.

 

I downloaded DeepBurner & it erases & records fine. As Halo sugested, I went into the register but there wasn't anything with Upperfilters or Lower Filters listed so I left that alone. I also went to http://cid-ab9de24be9af1b9f.skydrive...RegHacks/Fixes. There was 4 files listed there & I did not know which ones I needed so I left that alone also. Since it works with DB, what do I do to get my Sonic programs working?
Thank you fopr your help,
