Cant find drive still an issue in 1.4.11

#1 Post by uslaves » Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:51 am

i read through the previous posts and it sounded like this could have been fixed in release 4.1.9 but i still get it. mine is lightly different as it doesn't have the part about administrative privileges i've seen with others posts. on startup i get the following in the log file:

Debug log started at Wed Jan 13 02:41:51 2010 , written by MakeMKV v1.4.11 beta win(x64-release)
001014:000000:0000 MakeMKV v1.4.11 beta win(x64-release) started
001013:000000:0000 Debug logging enabled, log will be saved as C:\Users\Server/MakeMKV_log.txt
005042:000000:0000 The program can't find any usable optical drives.

i'm using win7 default drivers

just wondering if a fix was near

thanks

you need to run the program as administrator, are you?

if you have UAC enabled, which is default setting, you must right click the makemkv icon and select "run as administrator"

problem solved. thanks so much for your help. i didn't realize i had to run as administrator if i was already logged in as administrator.

thanks again, and as i've said before, great little program.
