Incorrect function while accessing CD ROM?

Whenever i try to access my CD rom drive i get "Incorrect Function"
I looked it up at microsoft here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;315350


But i do not have the software Roxio or easy CD creator, i do not understand the problem, any help would be appreciated.

P.S. My desktop computer is a Sony Vaio

 

On that same link you gave you can check the vendor of the Recording software you DO have.
I would see if it's listed as it may not be compatible with XP.

Hopefully it will help.

 

that's a lot of names, so the best thing for me to do, would be go through each of those, and see if one of my software starts with that name? Is there any other solution that might help?
Well i appreciate you looking into this for me, and if that is my only solution, i will get on it.

 

I did the registry steps but i still have the same problem, i have no clue what is wrong, any other ideas?

 

Do you have Norton AntiVirus installed?

I did have Norton's installed and it worked fine then something happened where as i said i get that incorrect function. And as of now Norton's is uninstalled and i still get incorrect function

i don't know what you mean by cd rom software

 

Run this removal Tool, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4749

I used the tool, but i still have the problem, what i recently found out, and failed to mention is i get the Incorrect function error when inserting a Blank CD-R disc, when i instered a disc from a game, it worked fine, i wonder what that's about.

 

Right-Click on the drive and select Properties / Recording Tab and then check the "Enable CD Recording On This Drive" box.

Alright it works! thanks so much, i'm succesfully able to access my D drive with a Blank CD and a regular CD thanks so much for all the support guys!

Am i alllowed to reinstall norton's back?

 

Yes. Glad you got it fixed.
