Somebody may have set the date like that deliberately so as not to log
system events but to still be able to use Security Centre and Firewall.
Can't see why they'd want to though. An odd mistake, but good to hear you
sorted it.
Hope you sorted the DVD too.

So's we all know what to avoid: what make and model of player are you
having all this trouble with?

Hello Spamlet

For me there has been so much confusion with matters computer - I have just
seen in my original post that I copy/paste the wrong computer details - what
an idiot.
The computer in question is my desktop - the item of equipment is a LiteOn
ATAPI iHAP322 - 32 - 9.

I fitted No4 and got the same problem as before - the box had been opened so
looks as if it might have been tested first by the supplier.
I was hoping to slave it onto another computer, but have been unable to do
so.
What I did do today, was get another DVD[not bought-borrowed] plus a new
cable, which I fitted to the desktop - tried both cables but got the same
result - all types of disc show as empty.[left click my comp - left click
DVD-RAM - left click to open CD drive D:] - it shows as having free space -
0 bytes - total size 0 bytes.
The 'write files to CD' cannot be done - must copy files to CD first.
Did the same with both cables and my new DVD - same result.
What I did find was that when I put my XP disc IN, I was able to boot from
it get into recovery console - most strange, as nothing will play on Win Med
Player.

I am not too sure what the above is telling me - but I think my only other
option left, is to go for a clean install if XP[which is something I was
intending to do in a couple of months until this DVD problem started]. I
have run out of any other possible cures.

Rgds

I didn't know you were talking about DVD-RAM: I've never used those.
Do they show up in disc management, and do they need to be formatted first?

Your equipment is widely discussed in other fora:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ATAPI+iHAP322+-+32+-+9&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

You will quite likely find your answers out there.

Good luck.
