HELP - DVD burner not reading

Hey all, finally got around to signing up to this forum.

Here is my problem. I have been using my burner for years, no trouble, and suddenly it stopped reading DVD movies, real or backups. It just keeps spinning and then my computer freezes. For software or data discs it works fine. I went into the Hardware devices and noticed that it has my DVD burner listed as well as some AXC CD/DVD-ROM... My DVD burner has a Region inputed (Region 1) but on the AXC CD/DVD-ROM it has "None Selected" for Region (could this be a problem).

Specs:
DVD Burner - Pioneer 106D - DVD-+R/RW CD
AMD 2800+
1G RAM
80G HD
Running Windows XP

Also, I have noticed that when I now run Symantec Virus scan, it hangs up on this file scecli.dll and will not continue.
and.... When I shutdown computer, it says Ending Program and the program is saimonMainWindows - I have never seen this before.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Re: HELP - DVD burner not reading

AVX is the Virtual Drive from alcohol software.

Try to clean the burner using a CD/DVD lens cleaner.

Re: HELP - DVD burner not reading

OK, I have gotten US DVDs to work now, but not burned movies or one from other Regions.

I have read about this DVD Region +CSS program, do you think that would help??

And any idea what that saimonMainWindow is about, says it is some DVDWrite program (not one I installed, so not sure how it got there)
