I never use to have this problem before, and then i started getting an ILLEGAL DISC ERROR every time i burned a dvd. I bought a new burner and replaced my old one, and it was still suffering from the same problem. So i reformatted my computer and everything worked fine for awhile until now. Now i am getting the same problems i did before. ILLEGAL DISC ERROR I kno u guys get tons of these problem threads, but any help or suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated. here is the error message...

Your Nero is an older version, try for update, BOTH packages from here 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 These are not good quality discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan) You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
