Greetings all, I consider myself somewhat competent getting around a PC and various software, but admit DVD burning is new ground for me. When I try and launch Nero Express (Nero Burning ROM V 6.6.0.18) the system shuts down and reboots itself. Additionally it has taken to presenting the Old MS Blue Screen of impending doom. (Bad_Pool_Header) I have done the uninstall/reinstall, but to no avail. All other software apps work well. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I see you have no system aspi instaled. Go here and http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm and get aspi. If you still have lockups after instaling aspi you may need nve patch. With your version you should not need the patch but never know. The patch is here ftp://ftp4.nero.com/patches/SMCPatch.exe
Thank you for the quick reply. I have tried various combinations of installs with and with out the aspi layer installed, not to mention the vast amount of tips I have read here on the forum. Results have been the same. I loaded Roxio 6 easy cd/dvd this morning and at least I can launch the application with out a reboot. With regard to Nero, I am thinking my Nvidia unidriver might be at issue, but have not rolled back to a baseline set of drivers to test it out. I'm just looking to b/up about 150Gig of music, archive dig family photos, and eventually author a DVD of all my old VHS tapes. Thanks for the tip, I'll follow these forums as they are very useful.
