I see you joined a few weeks ago, but welcome to Eight Forums, kkb350. Good to have you.

Did it ever work? Does the driver look ok in Device Manager? Have you checked the Vaio site for an updated driver? Most 7 (not all) drivers work in 8. Do you have 7 yet to see what driver is there or get from Vaio site? Perhaps install that one. Use compatibility mode if necessary.

Hope that helps.

You should not have a problem reading data DVDs. You'll need Window Media Center to play DVD movies, for example. If running Win8 Pro, then you still can get Window Media Center free here for awhile. You might run the Win8 upgrade assistant, even though you've already installed Win8, to see if it turns up any problems with your system. Also, check in device manager to see if you have any not ready for prime time devices.

Obviously either:
A) The wrong driver
B) System settings are incorrect for the drive/player.

You can either:
A) Answer some of the questions posted.
B) Try some the suggested actions to perform.

It's obvious to all you have a problem. So, please, by all means don't keep posting the problem. Please try a solution.

Thanks
