Hello, for some reason my DVD/CD-RW drive has switch to a DVD-RAM drive. When I try to save pictures to CD buy using the save to command the DVD/CD-RW drive is not listed as a option,only removable disks are.When I check Device manager it is listed as a DVD/CD-Rom drive and working properly. In My Computer it is listed as a DVD-RAM drive. I have tried installing and re-installing the drive with no luck. I have tried replacing the drive with a new drive but the problem persists. I have saved my digital pictures to CD on this computer many times so this has me completely baffled!

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.14
