Nero refuses to burn on CD-R

Hi Don,

1. My son plays games on the PC (logged onto his own user profile) from
CD-ROMs, so I presume it reads OK
2. Pressing Ctrl Alt Del shows "Nerosmartstart" and "ISO1 - Nero Burning
ROM Enterprise Edition". The version is 6.6.0.14.
I hope you can help me further when you have this information.

It looks as if you mean your Nero software does not burn
CDs as it should.

1. Nero software is a whole bundle of modules e.g.
(Nero v.6, as listed by Belarc)
Ahead software - NeroMediaPlayer Version 1, 4, 0, 21*
Ahead Software AG - Cover Designer Version 2, 3, 0, 6*
Ahead Software AG - InfoTool Application Version 2, 2, 1, 0*
Ahead Software AG - Nero Burning ROM Version 6, 3, 1, 12*
Ahead Softwa Nero Fast CD-Burning Plug-in
Ahead Software AG - Nero CD - DVD Speed Version 2, 2, 0, 0*
Ahead Software AG - Nero DriveSpeed Version 2, 0, 0, 1*
Ahead software AG - Nero ShowTime Version 1, 5, 0, 23*
Ahead Software AG - Nero SoundTrax Version 1, 0, 0, 26*
Ahead Software AG - Nero StartSmart Version 1, 0, 1, 15*
Ahead Software AG - NeroVision Version 2,1,2,10*

The module you want to copy files to a CD is
"Nero Express" (as listed by Ctl Alt Del.)

2. If you have the Nero CD, the simplest route is probably
to uninstal everything then reinstal from the CD.

Hello,

This may not be the most appropriate group, but I can't find a better
one, if you no of one could you please advise...


On my Windows 98SE machine, Nero 6 expects a CD-R/RW to brun to when I
have put a CD-R in the drive. I've spent days trying all sorts of
things, including different discs, presumable all possible setting in
Nero, and the available settings in the device manager for CDROM and
Hard disk controllers. Is there any other place where I should look,
or does anyone know of an obvious cause of the problem?

Regards,

Someone give me a hand here... It's been way way too long and my 98 test
image (VMware) doesn't seem to want to display anything to do with a CDRW at
the moment...

Were upperfilters and lowerfilters applicable with 9x? If so is there an
"easy" method to reset them? Additionally, could that be the problem?

Hi Don,

I uninstalled Nero, installed it from disk (so the reader still
reads OK) but I still get the same error message as before. Are there
any settings in the Device Manager or BIOS that I could look at?

I went, got one and cleaned the lens, then tried to burn again, but
still get the same message. Any further help would be appreciated.

Your very first post implies, but does not state, that will burn cdrw media.
Is this an observed fact or assumption on your particular PC?
