Warning Nero Burning ROM 6
Following the installation of ANY update file for updating
(the build of) Ahead's "Nero Burning ROM 6", you should take a look at the following two options (which I found checked by default, for instance by the installation update file for build "6.3.1.17" and also with the installation update file for build "6.3.1.25"). 1) In Nero Burning ROM at: File/Preferences.../Expert Features: "Enable overburn Disk-at-once burning". The above-m_entioned update files checked this option by default, yet this option has below it a warning, which states: "Warning: ... You might also damage your CD/DVD recorder. Use this option at your own risk!" 2) In Nero Burning ROM at: New Compilation - Copy CD/'Copy Options' tab/"Copy on the fly". The above-mentioned update files checked this option by default, yet this option has next to it a warning_, which states: "Copying with "On the fly" is risky. ..." When I explained to "Nero Technical Support" about the situation regarding item 1) above, their reaction was as follows: From: , To: "xxxxxxxxxxxx [xxxxxxxx] Date: xx/xx/2004 xx:xx [Web Support Request] Nero 6 - Case-Info: [xxxxxxxxxxxx] Dear xxxxxxxxxx, thank you very much for your e-mail. Why should it not be checked by default? I don't know no disadvantage having it enabled. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us again.

The point was that the program had a *default* setting that on the same
page warned strongly that there was a real potential for physical damage to hardware. That doesn't strike you as slightly ludicrous? OP went on to say that when questioned, a rep from the company essentially pooh-poohed the warning. More ludicrous, yet. Not that such situations are anything like rare in this business. -- Gary S.

I'll tell ya another thing that is dangerous: trying to install both InCD
and DirectCD - a general "NO NO". (If you try it you may end up with that damn blue screen and 0E error as I recall. One time I had to do a reinstall of windows and all programs, as I recall). Evidently packet burning technologies have such problems (like these, oh yeah, and also that other beauty of incompatibility between some versions), so I just avoid them altogether. So no CDRW's or DVD RWs over here. Just "CDWs" and "DVDWs" (so to speak) - one shot only. I guess I'm a bit conservative in this regard. Gary S.

I agree. And I don't recommend such programs to my clients. Just the
opposite, I try my darndest to dissuade them. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "Bill in Co." wrote in message ...

Well, that to. In this case, though, the way I see it is that InCD,
DirectCD and similar are royal PITAs. CDs or DVDs made with them are often not compatible with other players, the whole rigmarole is more complicated than it's worth. Save disk-bound files to a staging folder, then burn them with more standard procedures. There are perfectly decent mechanisms for over-writing files on regular write-only CDs--doesn't actually overwrite, of course, it just changes the "table of contents". But heck, it's actually better to burn them including folder structure, and keep multiple, dated copies of revised files. (Oh, and rewritable CDs and DVDs aren't worth the hassle, either. Not when the write-once kind are so cheap.) -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "Dan" wrote in message ...

Yep Bill,
InCD, I'm just recovering from the shock!! I had been using it for approx. 6 mos., no problems, but it can be a beast. Usually, I did my job and, ejected the CD from menu and, would also do ctl/alt/del and ended it too and removed it from my systray. Right after the new yr. I left the CD in, the puter locked up hrs. later. I was forced to manually restart, and repeatedly came up to blue 0E screens and the CD-RW wouldn't release the CD ROM. I did get my CD-RW out of the drive finally, but the puter wouldn't load, I couldn't get to safe mode, just a black screen w/flashing cursur. I went to dos and did scanreg /restore until it didn't work anymore, I rec'd only a black screen again w/flashing cursur. However, Win. told me a good registry was restored. It's one of worst exp. I've had, I reinstall Windows 2 wks. ago. It's a great technology, I was impressed...... at first, but I would warn *CAUTION* use at *great risk*!! I'm a avid zip drive user, and it's like having a blast of a zip drive w/all the features. I don't feel so bad, I was embarrassed to post InCD as the culprit, but it was also user negligence, I should of correctly dismounted the CD-RW after I completed my job.

Hi Lil Dave, (see below)

The above-mentioned update files checked this option by default, yet this option has next to it a warning_, which states: "Copying with "On the fly" is risky. ..." *** I have no real experience in burning CD's, my option is checked. This thread is interesting to me. I decided to try it one day and I did choose the *simulation* option. I thought it was real cool!! I waited, Nero s/w told me to remove my CD, and the so call burn of my Windows 98-se CD began. The simulation tests and verifies, that's why I chose it. The job was good, I used that burned CD to install Windows two wks. ago. That's my only burn job, Star Doesn't hurt anything physically. The burn may fail if your system can't keep up. That's simple. Nero has a simulation option to check this before actually using it. Most late PCs can handle this. Again, Ahead seems to be playing the odds instead of being cautious. When I explained to "Nero Technical Support" about the situation regarding item 1) above, their reaction was as follows: From: , To: "xxxxxxxxxxxx [xxxxxxxx] Date: xx/xx/2004 xx:xx [Web Support Request] Nero 6 - Case-Info: [xxxxxxxxxxxx] Dear xxxxxxxxxx, thank you very much for your e-mail.
