Nero 6.6.1.4 This version of Nero contains some bugs, 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 your firmware to CSOT from here http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SOHW-1653S/firmware/DR16CS0T.zip You will never be successful in burning DVDs with this amount of memory, minimum recommended is 512mb, suggest you add more. Poor quality discs, try verbatim or Sony (made in japan) Finally Burning too fast, slow to 4X. IMHO you ill NOT get a successful burn until you address the memory problem. [bold]Just noticed this[/bold] You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
