I've got to admit defeat! Have a new pc only 4 days old and have been burning DVD's fine ......then the problem Tried to burn a CD-R Mp3 Disc and have not had a hope in hell's chance of finishing one all i keep getting is a fixation error every single time even with just a plain audio CD can't even burn a CD-r with the windows writable folder or thr Roxio program which came with the machine! wasted 13 discs today trying all sorts of different things with comments on here and still nothing! Error log i get with Nero is huge and am not sure of how much of it to post Help me please before I smash the thing!! Oh yeah its a Dell Dimension 515OC TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B\H0 T0
Just updated Nero and now it starts to burn and just hangs at 14% and makes pc spazz out ........not good seeing as I have 2gb Ram! Task Manager says its Not Responding Is it time to basg it now and maybe burn it?
Roxio and Nero don't play well (ditch Roxio!). if it's Nero 6, let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '1A21' or similar. if it's Nero 7, let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '5C' or similar. either way you can differentiate sections via this section divider "====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======" i've teleported thread to the Nero forum
Hello... Nutzor, stick to this thread... You have all the help you need right here... Creaky, the firmaware page is down, you know anything about it? Oh, you seen this yet? http://www.disc-info.com/content/view/173/29/1/0/ Goood stuff...
hi buddy. yup, the firmware page has been down for a few days, dunno why though. edit- just checked and saw this - Shiny verbs eh ?, i'll have a look at that now though i've recently bought about 500 16x discs (MCC004) (made in India but nice enough). had a look then realised they're not for me, i'm not into all that printing on discs lark. but i'll keep my ears open on info on the quality of the discs in case they pop up in threads
@creaky & permiggs, my firmware link has been playing up for days, I use http://www.firmware.fr.st/, is this the one you use? If not do you have an alternative link, Thanks.
looks like yours is the same thing as the one i use - http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php as it's coming up with the same message.. while that's not working i juse google and usually end up scourinf cdfreaks links & old afterdawn links

Hi Gwen. You alright? Yeah, it's pain in the neck, this is my link: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_search.php (all different... LOL) My alternative is this one... Not as complete(by a mile!) but pretty good nevertheless... http://www.disc-info.com/content/view/12/28/ But just like Creaky, i do a lot of googling as well... Firmware problems? Well, your firmware should be up-to-date, since your machine is new... But we still need a decent log to look at...

Ok. Let have a look at what you've got here... There's not a lot wrong with that version, but the best one is still the Nero 6.6.0.18 - http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe A joy to look at... And here, it kills it... Go to Nero's 'File --> Preferences --> Ultrabuffer' and increase the buffer. Run "ScanDisc" and "Defrag" on your hard drive. This minimizes the possibility of "Buffer Underrun" errors. Close any program running in the background (e.g. anti-virus programs). You can do this manually by using the 'Ctrl-Alt-Del'. For Win95/98/ME: Just close all programs except for Systray and Explorer. For Windows 2000/XP systems use Ctrl-Alt-Del, go to Task Manager and close all programs. But sometimes for Windows 2000 and XP it´s not enough to close all programs in the background. A good program to help in these cases is “EndItAll”; please search for it at for example http://www.google.com/. Try different media brands. The one that you are using may not be compatible with your recorder. Update the firmware version on your recorder. Please check the manufacturer's website for the latest release. Try using a different data source (different hard drives, CD-/DVD-ROMs or network drives) to see if it is corrupted or too slow. Test your drive speed or use a simulation in order to obtain the optimal speed for your system and recorder. If not the maximum possible write speed of the recorder is kept as default. (By Cynthia)
Ok been to Ultra buffer and its set to automatic configuration and if i manually configure it what data buffer size so i need it says 80mb at the mo Sorry for being so blonde but never in my life have i had to mess about like this to burn a cd!
grrrrrrrr coz i a 'newbie' i can't post quick! Tried to alter the buffer and it won't go over 80mb so i left it at that and tried again and Nero spazzed out like i was running a slug!
