well today when burning some files in Nero, I selected to start multi-session disc and made sure that finalize cd was not selected but after burning the cd and putting it back into the pc..surely enough, the cd was finalized....and only like 57.8MD of space was used and the rest was wasted.....Does nero give this problem with anyone else or is this a problem with my pc/burners ?

When you put the cd back in to add files can you pick the continue multi session box? From the log finalization looks like it's off - Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession & 10:09:10 AM #21 Text 0 File Mmc.cpp, Line 16119 <SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-240B > start Close Session So it's looking like closed the session not the disc. You can use an update on Nero too - use 6.6.0.18. Here's the links: Package 1 Package 2 (recode & vision) Quite a bit of memory in use - free some up - close unneeded programs. May not be playing into this problem - but 86% is in use.
Hmmm that is odd. There log says it not finalizing the disc but does Haven't had that problem adding stuff on multi sessions cd's - give the update a go and see if that makes a diff.
