DVD Shrink won't "open disc" - message is "no disc"

[MAM]

I have been using dvd shrink successfully for quite some time. All of a sudden, when I open the program and press "open disc" to read the dvd drive with the dvd to be burned, the message is D: no disc.
I tried several discs, new and burned ones and the same message keeps coming up. I tried to decrypt the disc first and the message was "medium not found."
I tried uninstalling and re-installing the dvdshrink program, virus check, etc.
I have not familiar with alot of the 'techy program stuff'.

Help!! Thanks! I am using Windows XP and Nero software.

The drive may be going out, does it read cd's?

Is it still listed in my computer?

Oh where are my manners, sorry mam

[MAM]

Thanks!

Yes, I am able to read "game cd's" in the drive. Also, when I look from "My Computer", it shows all the files from the cd. But, when I put the movie dvd in, and try to view files from "my computer", there is nothing!

Does the nero info tool see it and all it's properties?

This may sound silly but, make sure you are putting the DVD in the correct drive.

Having the same prblem

Im also having the same thing happen but have verified the dvd is in the right drive. Windvd. shirnk , decrypter, nothing recognizes the disc. I was able to play it on my dvd player just fine. Anymore suggestions? Thanks for your time!

It does sound so silly. I almost sent back a brand new GSA4167 because I was putting the discs into my Samsung CDROM

Its such a simple mistake.
