Hi there, I am currently running Nero 6...but that is all. any suggestions?
1. disable IMAPI: http://dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?t=32137
2. download and apply Ahead's clean pack: http://www.ahead.de/en/631938356417810.html
3. do a test burn with Nero's image recorder and attach the Nero log file here, so we can look for conflicting drivers; the Nero log file is called "NeroHistory.log" and is stored in the Nero program folder; when posting the file please delete out your Nero serial number;

http://www.ahead.de/en/631940824944968.html - Nero Burnrights may be required - if you follow GOOD practice of NOT running as an admin-level user in day to day use.

The Current version may or may not need it, so update from that bug-hotel version before deciding anything.

If you have a bundled version, you CAN update - the same bundle limitations will still apply though.
