Hi, I'm having all sorts of trouble burning DVD-Rs using Nero Express. - i've got the latest Nero Express (I believe) - latest firmware for my LG 4163B (A105) - I've used a variety of media RitekG05, Verbatim, for example .... I'm beginning to think it's a hardware problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is a recent log file. Thanks, SchneiVo ================================== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 2/11/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 6.6.1.4 Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A105 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

This version of Nero is "buggy", uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then install this more stable version , both packages 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 Update to A106 from here http://lgodd.lge.com/fwdrv/DVD-WRITER/GSA4163A106.exe Try and free up some memory, dont multitask while burning
Thanks for the help, Gwendolin. I did everything you said, but no luck .... I'm pretty sure that there must be something wrong with the drive .... here's the latest log file after the changes.
