I have a bizarre issue that I am unable to resolve. Using Nero I am able to burn CD's, Data Dvd's and even (most of the time) copy dvd's.... however, everytime I try to "transcode" a dvd with Nero express... it starts fine and then after 10 minutes (or so) freezes up and locks up my computer. OR on occasion, I get "the blue screen" with the message "page fault". I've tried updating my Version.... (6.6.1.4) Rolling back my version... (6.6.0.15) I've even tried installing the trial version of Nero 7 - To see if that would solve the issue... And I still have the same problem. So I've restored my system to the last point that I remember that it was functioning properly - and still the same problem. Prior to a week ago... eveything was functioning properly... I installed an mp3 player driver from Creative labs - that I later saw caused a conflict and have since removed and I updated to Nero 6.6.1.4. (prior to reading about all the problems... so I cleaned that version and went back to my original). But besides that- that is the only changes that I have made in the last few months. I'm out of ideas... does anybody have any clue on what could be causing this issue...?

You mentioned you at some stage had 6.6.1.4 installed, uninstall Nero, run this clean toolhttp://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then install this version,6.6.0.18 from here, both packages http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
Hi sailagreg Besides Gwen good suggestion I would add 1 thing in the mix. After you uninstall Nero and run the clean tool reboot and run a registry cleaner like http://cccleaner.com then uninstall 6.6.0.18. Uninstalling and reinstalling any program even using their clean tools can still leave junk behind. Vision (think that's what you are using when you say Express & transcode) is pretty cpu intensive. You have great ram but since this is a laptop too you may be overheating. A cooling pad may help. Also shut down any unnessecary programs. Give that a go and let us know how it goes - good, bad or otherwise.
You might want to run the clean tool for nero 7 too since you said you installed it. http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/Nero_7_Clean_Tool.html
Hi Again! First I wanted to thank everyone for their input and quick response! You're all amazing. I followed the instructions to the letter (cleantool, clean registry, reinstall, even the cooling pad)... Ran the transcoding program and (drumroll) "Transcoding completed successfully". I did a few more burns - and after the 2nd one it started to freeze again (even with the pad!) - but I'm concerned that overheating may be an issue with this laptop in general (I've already had it serviced once). At least now I know. Any ideas besides a cooling pad to reduce this? Also - I'm thinking of buying a "media pc"... any brand suggestions? Thanks again for all your help.
Hi again sailagreg Good to hear you got at least 1 transcoded Well you can take a can of compressed air and try and blow out some dust around the fans in the lappy. They don't have the best air circulation. If you not already @ are doing some 'regular' DVDs/CDs burns then using Vision - reboot 1st or shut down for a few minutes. When using Vision - shut down everything you can like firewall, antivirus, spyware (disconnect from the internet). Some more suggestions (if not already doing them) Keep up to date on all your antivirus & spyware definitions along with regular scans of the pc. Run a disc cleanup & system defrag regularly. Depending on how fragmented the hard drive is - this can make it work harder too. Now for a media PC - can't really help you there. My suggestion is custom build the one you want to your specifications. Better to me at least than having to do the + or - side of which manufacturer has what and I get this w/ Dell but this with HP that sort of thing. Here's a forum at aD that may help some: http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/111 Oh and no problem on the help
