I went to internet to find updated software for Nero but it has something other than Nero. Is there any good free software out there that is supported by XP?

you did leave us a hole there mr. turner you mey need to update your cr burner driver to do this find out what kinda cd burner you have

click START , CONTROL PANEL , PERFORMANCE MAINTNENCE, SYSTEM , DEVICE MANAGER, LOOK FOR YOUR CD ROM DEVICE OR DVD DEVISE

right click on that item and select properties click on the driver tab what is the date for that driver if older then a year or since you just redid windows xp select update driver select yes connect to internet this time only click next click install software automatically click next it should auto install if there is a updated driver if not you may need

1 make sure you can use the devise for other things put a cd in or something

2 if there it did not find a update try to find the driver you need be finding out what cd burner your using go to there website look for a link that say support/drivers/software or downloads try to find your product
and download the driver for that devise and install that driver

3 remove nero and reinstall it

4 once you make sure that your driver is update find something free to use at http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/gmm/fwcdburn.html

if you cannnot find anything you like for free at that site i will still send you my special disc of somthign that will work 110%

Does your drive work fine otherwise? Like can you still reads cd’s from it?

I would check your nero setting too. Look under “Recorder > Choose recorder”. That’s assuming your using “Nero burning rom” and not nero smart start.

Another way to check would be to burn directly from windows. open “My Computer” and drag a file to your CD-RW drive and see if it will burn.

Let us know how it goes.
