    DVD Drive not on list


    My DVD drive works well; it appears on Device Manager
    which says it is working properly.

    It does not appear on the "Devices and Printers" list.

    I think it is for this reason my JASC photo software can't find it to make a video slide show.

    Any ideas?

    That's normal. It only shows "peripheral" or external devices, plus the computer itself. If you right-click the computer icon in there and choose "Properties" all the internal stuff (including the CD/DVD drive) will be listed.

    A CD/DVD drive would only have it's own icon in there if it was an external model.
