disk burner and windows explorer

[dobro]

I put a CDRW into my burner and Explorer lists the contents of the disk. I replace that disk with another disk, but Explorer doesn't list the contents of the new disk, it continues to list the contents of the old disk.

Anybody have any idea what's going on, and how I can fix it?

Sigh... sorry, wrong forum. I'm not even drunk.

dobro- you've got to do this:

Alt-V followed by R

This selects a "refresh" of the screen data, which reflects the previous disc in the CD drive until refreshed.

Or hit F5

Hey thanks. That'll do nicely.

Let me guess you upgraded windows media players....

Well, yeah, but the problem started before I did that.

A month ago, a hard drive crashed, and I just got it replaced and installed last Monday - that's when I noticed the problem cropping up. I thought there might be a setting somewhere that was keeping Windows from reading/updating the burner.

The fixes from drstawl and Emeric are simple, though.

Crap, it's still doing it...
