Summary: Terrible purchase
Review: It seems like a lie but until now Creative doesnÂ't have created any equipment support for this model. In Windows 2k as in 98 when I open the tray....it opens but in a few seconds it closes
alone.....incredible. Absurditly it does not even have a pattern of time to close, so you need to pray for, when you put or take the cd.
When I bought it; I put 100 dlls to the trash can.

Summary: No Windows 2000 or XP drivers!
Review: Read the other review that said there were no drivers for Windows 2000 and went to Creative site to verify. Indeed there are no Windows 2000 or XP drivers! For shame Creative!

Summary: Nice starter DVD Kit
Review: Read these reviews about not working in Win2000 or WinXP... not sure I understand the problems these people were having... while indeed it does not COME with drivers for anything other than DOS... Windows95, Windows98, WindowsME, Windows2000 and WindowsXP here have all found the drive automatically and use it with no trouble whatsoever.The only problem I have run into, is certain newer DVDs utilizing the zoning features will play only the sound, no video until you upgrade the player buy purchasing Creative's Dxr3 board. Not a good buy if you watch tons and tons of DVD movies non-stop... but its perfect for people who maybe watch a couple, but like me, are mostly developers purchasing software on DVD

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The quality of the video is good when it works! The key is when it works. Not only do they have no driver support but the computer won't even recognize the player. This drive has been out less than a year and they stopped supporting it. The software that comes with is useless except InterVideo WinDVD. The drivers that came with the DVD, the computer won't even recognize the floppy disk. I know at this point you are wondering about the validity of my computer. I am A++ certified and I built this computer myself and this DVD drive that doesn't work. Oh, it use to work off and on for about a month. When you contact the manufacturer they told me that normal IDE CD-ROM drivers that comes with WIN98 will work. Crock!!! Please save yourself from any pain. I bought this drive because of the Creative Labs name needless to say I will never buy they're products again.

Summary: Sorry, no standing 'ovation' for this drive
Review: This is a really bad DVD drive. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. But most of the time it didn't. While watching DVD's, it paused sporatically for up to 10 seconds. Sometimes it did not even play at all. It was fine with data and music CD's. I was expecting a good drive, keeping in mind Creative Labs' reputation. Boy, was I wrong. After awhile, it completely broke down on me, not recognizing any media whatsoever in the drive. Do yourself a favor and go with Sony or Memorex; their drives seem to be alright.
