Hello all:
This is my first post. Please let me know if this is the wrong forum for me, and if so, where I should be posting.
I bought a Mad Dog multimedia DVD/CD burner recently. It came with Nero software. When I installed the software, it froze up my computer requiring cold boots. After a little troubleshooting to make sure it was related to the software, not some other problem, I wrote to Nero. Their tech support suggested I uninstall the program and install the update to their program they gave me a link to. That program also wreaked havoc on my computer, so I uninstalled this and decided not to pursue Nero for the time being.
So I'm looking for other software to burn CDs and DVDs. My needs are simple. I have no interest at this time in authoring anything. I only want to back up images and other data from my hard drive and make copies of existing CDs.
The reviews that are out there are equivocal. Has anyone had a similar experience with a Mad Dog burner and Nero software, and does anyone have recommendations for software that works?
I should add that although I'm an experienced computer user, I'm not very technically oriented, so please be kind.
Thanks so much,
Paul
