Thanks for your input much appreciated.
Pretty much what I thought about XP.
I have downloaded the firmware but am reluctant to use it as I am not exactly sure what it will do to the system/hardware. I know it updates something but what.
This is also having an effect with my DVD recorder now, Philips dvdrw228. Neither writers work with nero 6 and it complains that both drives are in use by another application. I have Roxio on the system but its not running. Tried uninstalling Nero and re-installing, nothing changed.
I have tried to use the hardware wizard to install both drives again but even using the installation disk with the DVDRW it still won't work, and the only disk that came with the CDRW was a standard installation disk with OEM version of Nero and acrobat.
All I did was replace a 20x writer with a 52x and nothing else.
Any ideas??????
