This is the oldest version of Nero I've seen since I started...try to update from here
http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe

Your firmware is way behind, update from here to B8V9
http://support.benq.com/files/storage/Firmware/DVDRW/DW1610/B8V9.zip

Excellent choice of discs.

This is Roxio, it conflicts with Nero so I would run this zapper to remove it http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml

 

thanks for your help

am updating the nero as we speak

i tried the firmwire... its letting me do the benq dvd burner, but not the atapi cd burner - which is what im trying to use to burn the cds (( it doenst have the dvd burner as an option ))

also i will need roxio to burn my dvds so im hesitant to delete it

 

Why cant you use Nero to burn your DVDs.

 

i only had nero express
it doesnt burn dvds

sorry i really dont know alot about this kind of stuff
i have been using dvd decryper, shrink then roxio to burn my dvds and it works well for me

its only since i got the dvd burner that now i get the error when using nero express for cd burning - for music and picture cds etc

 

You can still use those 2 programs. Open Shrink,click on edit>>preferences>>I/O and you get this, check the box that says burn with Nero, dont need Roxio.

 

ok gwen i did the nero update, and the firmware update for the benq
i tried burning a cd again
it errored out again in the cd burner
but it worked with the benq

so that will work for me... i just wanted to be able to burn cds and picture cds

p.s. i left roxio on there

and binkie
my benq is in the d drive
and the cd burner is in the e drive
if that is what you mean???

 

Not recommended, did you check my thread where you allocate Nero to burn in Shrink..it does it automatically.Check the guides by bbmayo in my sig, it will get you going, Cheers.

 

okay i will remove roxio

thank you sooooo much

you helped me tres

 

ahh i dono
theres a ribbon ( i think thats what its called ) and some wires back there and it runs from one to the other
and theres a weee lil wired cord from the benq down to the mother board??? maybe

(( like i said im not good at this ))

anywho the nero update did give me a nero burning rom

and express now allows me to burn music and pic cds with the benq selected - so it doesnt matter to me which one does it as long as one of them does lol

so i could maybe remove the cd burner and put in the cd rom? or...

 

Great to hear you're back in business...dont tempt fate, leave things as they are...only my opinion, Cheers.

When you burn movies, burn at 4X, CDs between 24X and 32X..DONT use anything made by CMC Mag, especially memorex.

 

the atapi doesnt read dvds


i believe, but correct me if im wrong, to chg it to the cd rom ( as i know someone who could use the atapi )
is it just a matter of going into device mgr and uninstalling the atapi
power off the pc and d/c the atapi, and hook up the cd rom in its place
power back on and allow windows to read the rom???

 

ok working on that now
ill let u know how it turns out
thanks

 

i think i found the error???

ok so benq is in my top slot
it is hooked up to a wired cord with 4 small prongs for analog audio
master black red and white
and the black end of the ribon
and the end cord of the dc input 4 large prongs black yellow and red wires
WAS slave -

then the ataip was the grey middle of the ribbon
and the middle of that dc input cord
WAS master

if i switch the benq to master and the atapi to slave it should work (( or i can put the cd rom in its place ))

in your opinion is it easier wear and tear wise on the dvd burner to leave the cd burner there for my music and cd burning and just use dvd burner for dvds or let the dvd burner burn everything and put the cdrom in ??
