Here a suggestion if he trying to burn cds. Lower the speed down to
12x (Yes, you have to wait longer, but it is more reliable to have
the data stored correctly). I notice when my burners are going bad,
you can use lower speed for a few months till it quits. My lasted
for about a year.

We're already using 8x, not because we think there's anything wrong with
the burner, but to reduce the chance of a buffer problem.

I will try the cleaning disc suggestion, but I do think it's a

is told to do a burn, it accesses the floppy drive before getting
to the writer.
Then you need to g00gle up the website for that app and look for a
support
section, mate.
Appears he's got some corruption in his system part of the registry.


That is (the sort of thing I) fear, but wouldn't know how ...

You're not willing to break things then.
^_^

If so tehn he s gotta uninstall it and do surgery on the registyryry
to remove all the diseased bits.


... to do that. (The surgery I mean.)

You'd be better off looking at their webpage for a FAQ or support.
Or live with it. Nero did poll the flo0py drive like that...no
biggie...minor annoyance.

Nero polled the floppy? I don't think I ever noticed that and it
doesn't seem logical unless Nero had a backup to floppy feature.


I've never seen Nero do it, in 10 years, but I have seen it with some
other apps....can't recall which anymore.

I fear there isn't much support; fair enough, it's free software.

Interesting! No, the floppy access is indeed only a minor annoyance: I
just wasn't sure it had been doing it before, and wondered if it might
be related.
