Can't burn a DVD - get msg "Insert a disc" but never recognizes DV

Since installing Vista, I have lost the functionality of using the DVD
portion of my DVD/CD writer. It's an HP Media Center desktop, model m7334n.
It used to work and I have burned DVDs when I ran XP. Now when I click on
burn, I get the message, "Insert a disc", but it never goes any further.
I've tried the recommendation to delete filters, but I renamed LowFilters to
OLDLowFilters and had no HighFilters entry under the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
That didn't make any difference, even after a reboot. I have the current
drivers and am running out of things to try. Does anyone have any ideas how
I can fix this problem. I can read a CD but not DVD. I was using Windows
DVD Maker when trying to burn pictures to a DVD.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Paul

You may need to reinstall your driver. If Windows Explorer does not see your
drive, this download will fix the problem.

The tool you reference says it was intended for XP only. Do you know if it
will also fix the problem I am having with Vista?

Yes, I used it on my system successfully, Vista Business.
