I have been using my home built computer for about 3 months. I am using WinXP Pro. My CD-RW drive hasn't been seen as a CD burner. In My Computer, the CD drive comes up as "CD Drive (D: )". When I try to drag and drop files in the Windows Explorer window and then click "Burn to CD", it says there is no CD-RW drive. But when I use Nero 5, it works fine.
What is the problem and what do I do to fix it? (I'm not going to reinstall Windows!)
Firefox is my default browser but I need IE for updates. IE acts like I'm offline. IE won't go online! An additional problem, which is older, is that windows update doesn't recognize my computer as having a valid copy of XP. At least I think that is why they keep saying I need to download a new software for future downloads, yet everytime I try the download fails. I'm up to date to at least the beginning of december 2005, and I'm desperate to download the new critical update.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past, I have used the S-video port (with RCA adapter) in a dual view setup with my TV. I recently reinstalled Windows XP and now I can't get the secondary display (the TV) to work correctly. I just get a bunch of black & white lines moving up the screen (looks like bad reception/static on a TV). The weird thing is that the TV displays everything fine during the bootup process, including the loading screen with the Windows XP logo. Full color and everything. It's when Windows actually starts that the TV freaks out. Another weird thing is if I use nVidia's TV setup Wizard and select "Span," the image on the TV actually stabilizes. But I am forced to keep a low resolution on the monitor (which wasn't the case before I reinstalled XP), and as soon as I make any other changes the TV goes back to freaking out.

I recently downloaded loads of music video's with a view to burning them onto DVD using my Nero 7 DVD Burning Programes. I had 75% free space on my hard drive at that time. Many of these video's were flv format so I had to download and install a flv to mpg video converter programme. After converting the video's from flv to mpg so that Nero would accept them and making up the music video compilation using Nero 7 I noticed that I had only 4% free space left on my hard drive. So I couldn't get on with the second compilation. Nero told me I needed more hard disc space. I then deleted all the music video's I no longer needed, both the flv versions and the converted mpg versions

I have a new samsun 120 GB hard drive that I have placed into two seperate external enclosures connected to my dell pentium 4 win XP computer via USB. My computer will not recognize the hard drive. It

Whenever I plugged in a flash drive, the system would only "partially" recognize it. Sometimes it would show up in device manager or remove hardware but not in my computer. Sometime it would show up in My Computer but the drive name would not be recognized. But if I right-click my wireless connection icon on bottom right and disable it. With wireless network disabled flash drives load just fine.

I recently had a CD burner installed in this current computer, the associated software is Nero Express and works very well. I was told that I could upgrade my Nero 5 software, which is on another computer CD burner. I un-installed Nero 5 and upgraded to Nero Express and got all sorts of problems, example - all the desktop icons disappeared and I could only get programmes from the taskbar. So I un-installed Nero Express and re-installed Nero 5. This resulted in Windows 2000 Pro. re-booting itself continually. Up to the present time no-one has been able to provide me with a solution. Office 2000 Pro. is my choice for emails and all office work. Other programmes that I used were Spybot S.& D., Microsoft Anti-spyware Beta and A.V.G. Contacting the Nero site has proved to be an exercise in futility, so here I am asking for help. The start-up process works alright as far as 'Setting up Network Connections' and then re-boots.
View 14 Replies View RelatedIam using Nero6 to encode and burn movies to DVDs. I have finally got it all working. But the encoding part takes about 3 hours for some movies and the subsequent burning takes only about 15 min / movie. Is it possible to queue the encoding process for, say, three movies and save the separate encodings to image files for later burning to three DVDs? I can do this for one movie but I cannot figure out how to queue them. My idea is to set this up so the computer can work overnight.

First of all, thanks for what looks like a great forum, and thanks for looking at my problem here. I installed an AOpen DVD RW in my Dell Dimension 3000 last night, and I also installed the included Nero 7 software. I tried to watch a DVD that was done in Dolby surround and I had no audio. Nero Prompted me that I needed to install an upgrade which I proceeded to do. I managed to download and install those and the Codec Detective doesn't give me that message any more. It just lists all of the installed codecs.

This is a very silly question but I accidently checked the box telling my computer to always open AC3 files with my Nero program. I would like to have the AC3 file not be assigned to any specific program but I do not know how to do this.The only option I have is to assign them to another program. What I am trying to say is I would like to go back to the way it was before I assigned them to Nero so I would get a message telling me that windows could not open the file and then it would ask me to choose a program to do so.
If you install Nero 5.5.5.1 on an XP machine that has MusicMatch Jukebox (MMJB) 6.X installed, you will experience the "lost CDROM drives" syndrome. This is apparently caused by conflicting CD burning drivers in Nero and MMJB. Uninstalling MMJB 6.X solves the problem with the lost drives and allows you to use Nero. Once MMJB 6.X is uninstalled, you can then install MMJB version 7.0, and you will have full functionality in both Nero and MusicMatch Jukebox.
