This might not be the easiest or best solution, so I hope I'm not the only one who tries to answer you. Perhaps the answer is to actually physically uninstall and reinstall the drive. I'm not sure if you'll be able to, if that voids the warranty, however. Is your computer still under warranty? And is your copy of Vista an actual Microsoft Windows Vista disk or is it the computer manufacturer's version of that disk (known as an "OEM" disk)?
I'm not sure what steps you have taken to find the answer to your problem, but just in case you accidentally skipped a step, here's a good place to start: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324129

Hello, Zendiablo
I am lucky in my situation, in which I 'built' my own computer. I ordered parts from newegg, therefore all of my parts have separate warranties. Also, it would be just ten more dollars if I went to the near-by hardware store and buy a new optical drive. My copy of Windows Vista is from Windows, because as I said before, I ordered all my parts and put them together in a case. I will try this idea and then post later for my results.
Most Thankful,
Bryan LaVergne

Hello, Zendiablo
Even though this was helpful, it did not solve my problem. I did Method 3 under General Troubleshooting (Uninstalling the driver in Device Manager and then selecting, under the Action tab, Scan for hardware changes. It then reinstalled the driver). I came up with no different results. I tries Method 1 under Advances Troubleshooting even though it was a problem with recording rather than reading. I opened My Computer and right clicked my DVD RW drive (D:) and selected properties. I then looked at the recording tab to make sure that my specific drive was used for recording. It was. Any more recommendations?
