I'm using an acer laptop celeron 2.8 & 256mb pc2700 ram,
I also tried it on a pc with an athlon xp2000 and 512 mb pc2700 ram
both start writing the lead in then when burning starts I get an error
and burning stops.
I've also tried using the new nti cd,dvd maker that came with the laptop
same thing happens
I have tried alchol 120% in the past along with a lot of other burning
software but always end up going back to nero (unlike other users I have never had a problem with nero and cant fault it)
My aspi layer is up to date 4.60(as far as I know the best version)
Ive read that firewire puts less strain on the processor and although slower
in theory it allows a constant stream of data whereas usb2 transfers data in bursts which is why I was thinking of maybe mixing the 2 but I need to get
a firewire card first to try it
The reason I asked bout windows settings is I remember my first 24x cdwriter,
which I had to alter windows virtual settings (win98) to get it to burn at 24x
