If Anydvd says your drive is disabled, ignore the message unless you also receive it when you have a movie inserted in that drive. Some drives' firmware may report the wrong information to Anydvd. Often Anydvd will still function properly. visit http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=2891&postcount=12 (Zebadee's Anydvd works fine) Uninstall Nero's Incd. Don't use packet writing software. If you want that drag and drop functionality, then use dvd-ram instead. When I say brand and model number I mean something like Plextor (for brand name) and PX-760a (for model number).
Anyway, after uninstalling Incd, reboot, and check to ensure incdrm no longer appears in your upperfilters.
