DVD Drive Playing former disc's content

[Jeda]

HI, This has been driving me crazy and I really hope someone can help me.
My DVD Drive is playing the content form the disc that was previously inserted and not the current disc. For example, If I had a DVD movie in the drive, and lets just say it was Transformers, When I eject the disc and put a new one in there to watch, Transformers will start and continue to play as though I still had it in the drive. It happens using all the media players on my PC, Windows Media player 10, VLC media Player, etc.. When I go into My Computer and click on the D:Drive, It shows the former disc information instead of the current one. My system is a Generic built PC, with a Gigabyte Motherboard, Intel Pentium D 3.00Ghz CPU, 2gb Ram, 2x Western Digital 160gb HDD, Pioneer DVR-111DBK DVD drive, Creative Soundblaster X-fi platinum soundcard with IO interface. I'm running XP service pack 2. I'm not using any Anti-Virus software or Firewall as it's mainly my Recording PC and not my Internet Browsing machine. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jeda.

Does refreshing help? Rebooting? If not, you can try entering this from the Run window:

reg DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\CPC\Volume/f

This basically deletes the previous volume information (the disc previously inserted) which may have been stored in the registry.

Are you running any drive caching software? Any virtual drive software (like Alcohol, etc.)? It seems unusual if you are actually able to retrieve the entire contents of the previously inserted disc from the drive's buffer only.

Check also if the Logical Disk Manager Administrative service is running. You can check this by running MSCONFIG from the Run window and selecting the Services tab. This service should be running.

Let us know if this does it for you.
