burner problem - seems sorted!
Hello again,
Apologies for the delay in adding further comments.
It seems I have the problem sorted out now. This is what I did, don't really know which bit in isolation might have done it but hey it seems to have worked. I can now burn CD & DVD's on the artec drive.
I disabled the windows based writer,
I removed all other burner software i.e clone cd plus one or two others,
I updated the firmware as per the comment in an earlier post,
I completely removed Nero 5 and Nero 6 using their clean up software
I downloaded the latest versions of nero upgrades and re-installed them in this order from this location:

Update-Package 1,
Update package 3,
Update package 2,
Update package 4,
Aparently they must be installed in this order to get over a problem in windows xp.
I also removed completely the CD r/w and now just use the artec device in case there were any conflicts.
The above have seemed to work for my machine.
Hope it helps others.
Regards
Geoff
