hi, my first post here. I've had my dvd writer about 3 months and had no problems until about a month ago. First thing was nerovision express would freeze up during transcoding of avis,mpegs,divx etc so recently i got a host of other dvd suites such as dvdlab, ulead dvd suite and sonic dvdit to see if they'd cope any better... I've deleted them all again and only have nero left but now i get an "illegal disc" error. From reading about the forums this seems to occur with dodgy dvds, i was using tesco ones (successfully til last week) and figured that was the problem but today i got verbatim datalifeplus ones and still get the same error message. can anyone help? here's my log...

hi and welcome to the forums... - ASPI is corrupted, see my last comment - Nero's too old, latest 6.x version is 6.6.0.16, download "update package 1" from here - http://ww2.nero.com/enu/nero-up.php - KS0B, slightly newer version of your firmware is here - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2056 - 512MB is what i consider the minimum for dvd work. you should get more memoey, and for now you're gonna have to dig deep to close down as much as you can to free up more memory - very nice media indeed - follow ALL other suggestions - try 4x - see here for 3rd party ASPI drivers - http://www.bhacorp.com/support/common/aspi.html. (i'd uninstall this and go with 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm)
I can't get the nero update to download, the link to it doesnt seem to exist, any tips? It's ok, i got it downloading now, thanks!
cool, edited my reply as afterdawn screws up some url's, we just have to edit the post (without changing anything, then save) and it's fine. keep me posted....
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/st...ge=Product&sku=309033&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null is this r.a.m. good enough to buy?
oh, you're from UK too. it's a while since i've priced up memory but i'd have a look on www.ebuyer.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk too as i always find pc world are far too expensive. edit- just re-read your first post and noticed the Tesco's bit otherwise i'd have known you were in UK. sorry i usually ignore write-ups and dive straight in to the logfiles
OcUK Value 512MB PC3200 184pin DDR Memory (MY-002-OK) OcUK Value series PC3200 DDR400 are base on industry standard with exceptional build quality for OEM and system upgrade market in mind. - Based on High Performance Nanya Memory Chips - 184pin, Non-ECC, Un-buffered, Industry Standard DDR memory modules - 6 Layers Low Noises Shielded PCB - 2.55v-2.85V how about this ram for £27 I know very little about the inner workings of the computer though. I installed my dvd r driver and a cd drive but apart from that i dunno any more. Is there a standard ram port thats the same in every computer or do i need to find out what type of ram my computer takes
do you know what model motherboard you have ? maybe this will help to identify it if you don't know; am thinking of ways to work out what memory you got now and what to get - http://www.hwinfo.com Another way is when booting up, the motherboard details are usually displayed on screen, but you'd probably have to pause the bootup to catch the details
hwinfo (good program, cheers) says... motherboard model : TriGe computers inc. Imperial motherboard chipset : Intel 845gl (brookdale-GL) motherboard slots: 3x pci
looking at hwinfo again at the memory section, i thought these might be helpful for identifying my memory type module size-256mb memory type-ddr sdram memory speed-133.3mhz(PC2100) module manufacturer-samsung
a-ha, nice find, must admit i haven't mooched too much into that proggy yet, i just use it in the summer to keep an eye on temperature. i'd not noticed that before, on this pc it's correctly identified my memory, that 128MB is in one slot, and 64MB is in the other. cool...
maybe try ebuyer, i think they do free postage on memory. PC2100 must be the type you need then, though i guess it depends if buying one 256MB stick of memory to match your current one will be enough, ie i'm wary of recommending you buy astick of memory in case you only have one spare slot free and therefore can't update again another time without having to take out the 2x 256MB modules... (if you wanted to go above 512MB that is; saying that it depends how new your motherboard is anyway, as to how much memory it can take)
hey, I'd installed all the upgrades and new drivers and was about to test nero again when windows installed new upgrades and something happened and i got an error message saying some of nero's files were missing. I reinstalled again and redid the drivers and upgrades (as far as i can tell) and tried to burn a data dvd, nero stopped responding after it got to 1%. The error message was something like scsi/apti failed to commence but because nero wouldnt respond i couldnt retrieve the log. any advice?
yeah, don't worry, the logfile is always in the same place, hence i keep this bit of text for replying to posts.... ...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. You can differentiate sections via this section divider "====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======"

that's the same exact log section as before... have you tried any of my suggestions ?. if so, you can test out any changes without wasting discs by doing 'simulation burns'. when you go to hit 'burn', untick 'burn' and tick 'simulation' - this'll go thru the motions with a blank disc but doesn't write to the disc, then you get another section of logfile appended to the logfile you just posted..
hey thanks, i just did a simulation and i think you fixed my problem! heres the log file... ====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ====== Gareth deleted serial numbers-4331* Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 17/07/2002 09:20:56 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.16 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b (Nero Express) Recorder: <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S>Version: KS0B - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S>Version: KS0B - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST380012A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : CD-RW CDR-7S52 atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S D: CDRom0 CD-RW CDR-7S52 E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 40894464 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 253MB (260080kB) Free physical memory: 77MB (79536kB) Memory in use : 69 Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 8.11.2005 ISO compilation 19:42:25 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6356 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : TRUE Write : FALSE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 19:42:26 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 19:42:26 #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S running 19:42:26 #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 19:42:26 #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 19:42:26 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 57871 ( 12:51.46, 113MB) 19:42:26 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 19:42:26 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MCC 02 - RG20 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 19:42:26 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 19:42:26 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 57872 (57872) = #57872/12:51.47 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 57872 blocks [LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S] -------------------------------------------------------------- 19:42:28 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;
