Optical drives do not require any drivers other than what is provided automatically by the Vista os. What's the problem?

Hi Jerry, I recently bought a HP computer model:6167C and use Window Vista Home Premium , my DVD Drive is TS-H653L , this DVD is no problem shown in Device Manager, but it cannot read some DVD media (original movie dvd ) or burn it from myself (DVD-R or DVD+R) , I have find out lots of people complaint or have same problem about this DVD Drive, do you have any idea to fix it or the problem from hardware or software.. please help!!

Reading dvd media requires dvd decoding software like WinDVD or PowerDVD. Do you have either installed?

What burning application and version are you using to burn dvd disks? You do realize that burning dvd's is dependent solely on the burning application. Perhaps you need a newer burning application that's compatible with Vista.

And perhaps your driive needs firmware update.
