Hello. Unless you use InCD, you need to get it off your system as it can interfere with burning. It can be removed with the InCD Clean Tool. http://www.nero.com/nero6/eng/InCD_Clean_Tool.html The Roxio CDRAL drivers are installed which may interfere with Nero in some configurations. Unless you're using Roxio software like Easy Media Creator, you might as well remove the driver with the Roxio Zapper. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/EE6000061 You are using a pretty old version of Nero. You migth try upgrading to 6.6.0.18, the best version of Nero 6: Package 1: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe or Package 1: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Before upgrading, uninstall the current version and be sure to write down your serial number. If you do this you won't need to run the InCD Clean Tool above. Run the Nero 6 Clean Tool and the Driver Clean Tool: http://www.nero.com/nero6/enu/Nero_6_CleanTool.html http://www.nero.com/nero6/enu/Driver_CleanTool_and_RegistryChecker.html You should probably reduce your target output size to 4400mb in whatever authoring software you're using. You're writing up to the edge at 4465mb currently. You can also output an ISO image file from your authoring software and then burn that with ImgBurn. http://www.imgburn.com
