Internal DVD+RW driver?

(originally posted to alt.video.dvd.tech,microsoft.public.windowsme.gene ral)

I have Windows ME with a Memorex branded internal DVD+RW drive that I just
installed.

Now, under my system properties, the drive is shown and supposedly working
properly. But my OS does not see any disc, and asks me to put one in ---
even though I already did.

I want to point out the driver is from Microsoft, and it's dated from June
of 2000.

I didn't get any drivers from the installation kit, and wonder if that's not
why the drive won't recognize media (nor, of course, play it).

I'll go look around Memorex's site again for updated drivers, again. The
fist go-around did not prove successful.

But, perhaps someone has a suggestion that might work? Maybe using another
manufacturer's driver?

Thanks in advance,

Mr. Curious.
