    Norton's NIS surprisingly is not slowing down my pc-hardly noticeable. Noticed it when got my new pc year ago. As I was already using NIS for several years and this came with free 15mos full program, I was familiar with it. Then unexpectedly they installed the newest version and it is not even noticed. It also monitors the pages you open to tell you site is safe and allows you to set up a password protected for going to sites.(I have not set that up)Have no complaints and will renew for $49/yr in another 3 months.

    O.K. dialysis1, I've downloaded the program, put in a blank disc, opened imgburn and copied the log, but I'm not sure if I did this part right.

    I 19:53:02 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!
    I 19:53:02 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)
    I 19:53:02 Total Physical Memory: 457,320 KB - Available: 117,588 KB
    I 19:53:02 Initialising SPTI...
    I 19:53:02 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

    Is that all?
    It should look something like this:

    I 20:02:02 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!
    I 20:02:02 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)
    I 20:02:02 Total Physical Memory: 1,046,512 KB - Available: 529,676 KB
    I 20:02:02 Initialising SPTI...
    I 20:02:02 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...
    I 20:02:02 Found 1 CD-RW, 1 DVD±RW and 1 DVD±RW/RAM!

    And if no drives were detected, it would say so.

    I'm afraid that was it. I don't know what to tell you.

    O.K. I went to imgburn, then tools, then filter driver load order:

    Upper Device Filter redbook
    Upper class filter [Not found]
    device CD/DVDrom device
    Lower class filter iviaspi
    Lower class filter PxHelp20
    Lower device filter imapi

    I couldn't cut and paste these so I just re-typed the information.

    O.K. I've removed that filter. Now the last entry in the log is,
    I 20:53:38 Found 1 DVD±RW/RAM!

    The blank DVD still doesn't work.

    Yes they do. Liteon LH-20A1 - 02 is the right nomenclature.

    I'm sorry. I can't cut and paste so I typed it, and I got it wrong. Here it is again and it's correct this time:

    LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S 9L02 (ATA)

    Sorry about that!

    I have no idea how to go about doing such a thing. This stuff is way beyond me. Keep in mind, when I was in high school, calculators were just starting to come on the market.
