Congratulations, you are my first for this version of Nero, it is reported to be buggy as well but I cannot comment as yet. DMA needs to be on, heres a guide to turn on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Slow to 4X You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml I will keep an eye on this thread to see how you get on after you make these changes, then I will be able to pass judgement on latest Nero. Good luck.
