NEC ND-2510A can't read DVD+R9? Cyde Weys 09-26-05

I just recently ordered some Memorex Double Layer DVD+R 2.4X discs. I
have a NEC ND-2510A DVD writer which is supposed to be able to read and
write +R DL discs. I updated the ND-2510A to the latest firmware
version, 2.18. Yet when I insert a blank disc it is not identified at
all by Windows and Nero thinks it is a blank CD (?!). Is there
anything besides updating the firmware on my drive that I need to do?
I looked for updated drivers or something but the NEC site said no
drivers beyond Windows' are necessary.

Have you tried updating Nero?

Aye, not yet, that's something I'll try tonight. Still, Windows isn't
detecting it as a DVD ... it just pops up an error message when I
double-click on that drive letter. When I put in "normal" DVD or CD
writable media, it will at least tell me what format it is, how much
free space it has, and it will offer to burn something on it using
Windows (bleagh). Is it possible the problem is on a lower level than
Nero?
