I got plenty of dvd software, thanks for the links! I just want to find out if I need to go out and get a new, dvd/cd burner combo! thanks
Do you know what current firmware your using? Nero Info Tool will tell you before flashing. How long have you owned your NEC dvd burner?

My computer warranty went out in Dec. also.They wouldn't warranty this part seperate from the rest of the confuser! bullshit! thanks for the reply!
