NERO burner selection

I recently have run into an error while just doing a simple burn from vts file- when it comes time to burn NERO selects Image Recorder and only allows me to save as a NERO IMAGE FILE (.nrg)

No idea why this just started happening... I tried to read thru the post but not experience enough to really tell whats going on.

In this case I was using DVD+R instead of DVD-R

Not sure if this is NERO's way of saying the disc drive is bad.

Any help or idea's would be greatly appreciated

 

What happens when you try to change the recorder type?

 

An outside guess.. windoze has unticked the "use this recorder" box in the drive properties or something to do with securom.. our friendly sony made hardware damaging malware?

 

Thanks for the replies..
It doesnt allow me to change the recorder type

 

Did you change your burner?

 

No change in burner, so I'm going to try switching burners this evening to see if NERO reads it

 

Does Windows see the burner?

 

within NERO I get no option to adjust burners.. when I place a disc in the drive ala and DVD to watch a dvd it's fine

 

How did you obtain this version of Nero?

 

@goodjam, I had the exact same problem and fixed it recently with virus software. Like you, when I went to back up a DVD NERO Recode 3 only allowed for me to back up image file only? NERO no longer recognized my computers optical drives or DVD burners. I did a system sweep with WEBROOT anti-virus software, it located "MALWARE" virus on my system along with a couple of active trojan virus. Pissed I was because all this sh*t just walked cleaned through my recently updated Anti-Virus software. I used SPYBOT (Search & Destroy) which is a solid freeware anti-virus software which is my go to option for tough virAl intrusion. This virus cut off my access to SPYBOT totally? It also would not let me complete any google searches? Everything search would re-route to some phony webpage. Anyway, I spent the next day or so looking for a solution online and found one in WINDOWS LIVE ONE CARE $49.95. I learned about it @ Microsoft Windows Support website. I downloaded the software and it did the trick surprisingly...once the system sweep completed...NERO again located my drives.

 

I'll give the product a try

 

Does your burner support DVD+R? how many burners have you got in your computer!

 

Good mrng everyone..tried spam/virus program no luck.
I thin kit may be more to do with my pc then NERO..
I placed a regular DVD in the drive this morning with no results or automatic opening of a viewing program.

If anyone has any thoughts on making the PC able to read the drive please let me know.

Again, thanks for all the replies

 

Does Windows see the drive?

 

How do i check to see if windows see's it

 

Windows explorer. Not internet explorer.
My computer.

ok script ran.. do i need to do anything to get the drives to be read again? sorry novice at all this

 

If after a reboot, the drives still don't show. try this:
1. Click on START button, the click on RUN
2. Enter REGEDIT and press enter
3. When REGEDIT starts, open up the following folders

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

4. After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:

"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"

Rightclick on each of them and select DELETE and click YES.

Then close REGEDIT, shutdown & restart your PC.

An easier way to do this is with ImgBurn.
