burning a cd-r with nero

this is a pretty old computer that i have nero on. It keeps being unsuccesful when i try to burn a cd. I even simulate it on the slowest speed and still fails.

any suggestions
or anything else you guys need to know? its an atapi
TEAC CD-W54E is the drive type if that helps
maxium speed =4X(600kb/s)
firmware revision: 1.0A
overburn, disc at once, cd text all supported
but buffer underun protection is not supported
recorder buffer is 1280 kb

 

You should post a Nero error log. That would help in diagnosing your problem.

 

there is a firmware update for your burner. Do that and see if it helps:

i read the read me with that and it says win 95/me/98..i have xp

point me in the right direction for my error log

im there just dont know where to find it exactly
C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero
right folder?

 

I know it says the firmware is for Win 98/Me or whatever... You should be okay. You can use older software with newer Windows editions, but not viceversa. So update it.

You can find the error log in:

ProgramFiles/Ahead/Nero/NeroHistory.log for nero 6

and ProgramFiles\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory.log for nero 7.

 

i double click the updater and for a split second i see a screen pop up and vanish...its not letting me i dont believe cause i have XP

 

Make sure you have turned off any pop-up bloker9including yahoo toolbar if you have it), firewall, antivirus... Also, remove any CD from your drive and close any other applications.

 

ok i opened up the log.........do u want me to post the entire thing? or you looking for something in particular

on a side note yesterday i was able to burn a cd successfully
