Problem With Nero...

[Respital]

hey CF.
I have another problem with this old un-used computer...
My problem is that whenever i try to burn something using my DVD
burner it comes up with an error...

"Nero - LightScribe"

"LightScribe error:
A communication error has occured with the LightScribe drive.
Please restart you PC and try the label again."

That's exactly what the error says but i don't understand why i'm
getting this error... i wasn't trying to use "LightScribe" i was
just trying to burn a regular Audio CD.

Oh and most importantly which i almost forgot it happens like this.
I try to open "Nero Express" from the start menu and as soon as it
opens this error pops up and won't let me do anything. I've pressed
"OK" but all it does is open another "Nero Express" and then it closes
automatically. I've tried going through "Nero StartSmart" but the same
thing happens. Also i have tried reinstalling but it still comes up
with the same error, i did try another version of nero laying around
it's the OEM version it didn't give me an error like the retail version.

Help...

Thanks CF.

Good ol' Nero...

If you haven't already, uninstall, then reinstall the program. That should work until you encounter problems again.

Was this software bundled with the optical drive?

nero is full of bloatware...for sure

Yes i have tried re-installing. It still doesn't work.

No it is not. The software with the optical drive was OEM so i got the full version.

nero is full of bloatware...for sure

bloatware ?
I'm assuming that you mean it's full of unnecessary programs.

Yup!! By bloatware he means it is an over-packed program that uses too many resources and takes too much hdd space. Also, it runs like crap and has problems all the time! Heck freeware runs better and has better features! lol

Yes - i have the agree there... some of these big OEM programs are just full of crap you don't need!

^^^ Yup A decent one you could use is Roxio but, thats kinda bloatware too but, seems to have less issues than nero. I use convertxtodvd to burn dvd's. That is a great little program and you can convert and burn a whole movie in about 30-45min. Way faster than nero could ever do it.

I use nero but only when i need to burn things... but i have used roxio before and it is good software.

 

[G25r8cer]

Yeah roxio came with my pc and I decided to keep it. It seems to be one of the few useful oem programs! lol Every other oem program is crap. I believe companies are getting better at cleaning up the pc's though. I remember back in the day when you would get a binder full of free software and the stuff was already installed on your pc. lol

Just making sure.

Yeah seems like it.

Can it burn .avi files?

Seems as though i'll have to look into this "Roxio"...

Oh jeez i remember that, you buy your computer and your hard drive is already full.
