This first version of Nero contains some bugs, uninstall, run this clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install this more stable version, 7.0.8.2 from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 Dont be tempted to go to a later version. Not top quality discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan) There is a firmware update for your burner but you will have to go to Sony site, update is BYS3.
I will not answer questions in my shoutbox, sorry. If you are unsure about the firmware update then leave it be and do the other suggestions. BTW, I just read you're using memorex, they are horrible discs.
