    Currently running an OLD 466mhz Pentium and 128mb ram and running Windows ME, Bought the Pioneer 105 and now Nero and DVD-Decripter keep crashing as soon as they start scanning for what devices I have present. If I put my old CD-RW back in everything works again. Is my system to old or is it the dvdwriter ?

    Your system is too old .. [sorry]

    I'd suggest at least 900Mhz/256 ram/and well as for WinME (get rid of it cos Win98SE is better IMHO)

    Pioneer Recommend a minimum 600MHz processor and 64MB RAM with 8MD HDD free

    You could upgrade quite cheaply.
    You would needthe following:
    - Motherboard - £45
    - Processor - 1.2GHZ Pentium III - £19
    - New RAM - 256MB SDRAM - £19

    All could be done for £83 from Ebay.
