    I have a Pioneer 106 and I just installed Recordnow Max. When i first start it up it says "No compatible recordable or rewritable devices could be found on your system." I downloaded both of the updates but now what do I do? Thanks in advance

    Two things may help.

    1) Uninstall the burner through Device Manager, reboot, then let windaows dtect/install the drive.

    2) Update your ASPI layer following this guide:

    Hi,

    Here's the skinny,

    Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager.

    Once in Device Manager, scroll down to "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" and expand it.

    Now find the entry for your Pioneer and double click it.

    In the new window, click the "Driver" tab, then click the "Uninstall" button.

    Reboot.

    Let us know if this helps :)

    What version is Recordnowmax?
    What pxengine version is located within Recordnowmax - to check do the following:
    [bold]Open Recordnow
    Click on Help
    Click on about[/bold]
    It should display the version number there.
    The pxengine version number is the middle group of 3 numbers on the build line.

    The latest is 507, I have the Pioneer 106 and it is detected fine, even with version 4.5 and a really old pxengine.........

    Goto http://www.orlogix.com/support_download.php?type=updates&pn=rnm to upgrade from version 4 and also get the latest pxengine which is 507...............

    Hmmmmmmmmmm, I thought you may have been using an older version............

    The pxengine update has it's own installer program, so you just need to click on the file and let it load up, after it's done, you can check the build number again to make sure it is in there.....

    I do not know about backwards compatibility with the latest pxengine update....and older version programs..

    The update is only to provide the main program with more OEM writer support - makes and speed support etc (as more and more drives are now available)........

    Run the update to see if it works, if it doesn't [bold]I would highly recommend you update version 4 to 4.5 as per the link I posted....[/bold]

    I think it is 16Mb, so on a dial up may take around 45mins, quicker obviously if you are on broadband......
