dvd-r's unrecognized disk in my DVD-R Writer

[TwIZzlEr]

I've got two different brands of DVD-r's and they're all not recognized my my dvd writer(-r,rw,cd-r,cd-rw). It writes my normal data cd-r's but when ever I try to write a DVD cd, it says something like please load a compatible media. In nero, it says in cd info that there's zero space available. Please help, It used to work alright before.

Silly question maybe .... but when switching from burning CD'd to DVD's ..... you are selecting the right Recorder yeah ???

Uh huh, got a 25 and a 30 pack DVD-R's all which don't work, even on my old computer dvd player, the info when I right click it, it says no space available. Can the DVD-R of the writer break down and be damaged, while the cd-r part still writes??? ASPI driver(?) problem??? Could it be possible that the two packs are bad products? Please help.

oh, forgot. Also is there software to install besides nero to enable it to recognize?

Oh I solved it, there was a download for a fix that I needed. Dang, now I think I fried my cpu. It's booting up and acting all weird can't see anything much but the background desktop.
