I don't understand what the issue is here or why it keeps doing this. I've tried going to memorex support as well as windows support, looked from drivers, everything I can think of and at this point im starting to yank my hair out. The problem is everytime I start to burn a disc windows pops up and asks me what I'd like to do with the disc, causing whatever burning program im using to fail, which of course wastes a perfectly good blank DVD. However, if I open disc/drive under 'this computer', windows always puts a 'desktop' for some reason. So of course, I select the 'use with cd/dvd player option and the prompt disappears as it should. The problem I'm having is even though windows recognizes the drive, everytime I put a blank disk in the drive, windows in it's ever so helpful ways asks me 'what would you like to do with this disc?'.

I figure it wouldn't be any hassle to use since it was plug and play. I bought a Memorex slim external CD/DVD writer today, it was only $40 at walmart. If anyone can help me or share some insight on what to do or how to overcome this annoyance I've been dealing with on my the portable cd/dvd writer I bought today, I'd greatly appreciate it.
