Nero eXpress being a biatch

kaimera

i have a DvD-R drive on my laptop comes bundled with Nero eXpress.

First thing I did when i got the laptop was a fdisk and XP Pro went on it. [XP home was the default OS]

so Nero worked fine for a while but now I cant burn CD-R's of any description.
I get a "Cant find start track" error and the burn doesn't even start. [yes I know, least I saved a cd ]

other things is, when I open nero, under the heading what would you like to burn? there is no text.
It only appears when i run the mouse over them and then they go when I move the mouse again.

tis very annoying.

i can burn DvD's [DATA dvds] grand....just not cd-r's

Only other thing that was installed was Virtual Machine and Red Hat 9 through VM.

Any ideas? or just go for Nero 6?

I have Nero 5.5 for my home pc but I dont know if twill work with my DvD burner

I take it you have disabled the antivirus

I had the ISO burner from XP powertoys - stopped working after a few windoes updates..

it has burnt without me disabling Norton.

I have Alcohol120% but tis only a ISO burner.
