    help with nero

    hi

    i have nero ver:5.5.9.2 which came with my computer

    the problem is my "destination" drive does not show up
    but is listed under"source" drive

    the only thing listed under destination drive is image recorder
    i have tried to update nero to 5.5.10 but the d/load is very slow

    the dvd rw drive is sony dw-u18a

    any idea's what is wrong?

    Sounds like you need to go into Neros option menu and alter the destination from image recorder to the burner of choice.This is under recorder/choose recorder in the newer version

    i forgot to mention that i'm talking about nero express.sorry

    when i launch nero express you can choose your recorder
    from a drop-down list.

    this list only list's image recorder.this as never happened in 8 month's of owning/using this software.

    any idea's

    cheers

    Sounds like its either lost the driver for your burner,theirs a faulty registry key or the burner is failing.
    Try another burning program like the freeware CDBurnerXP Pro to check the burner is still alright.

    You need to update Nero. Version 5.5 probably doesn't have your burner in its database of acceptable drives. The link below should work for your NeroExpress, as it did for mine also. If you have the version 5.5 suite you'll also need package 2.

    i am d/loading as i type

    the weird thing is,i have used nero 5.5 many time's with the
    sony drive before with no problems!

    also what is wrong with nero's servers?

    it is d/loading at 5kb/s! should be 80-90kb/s!
    i am never going back to dialup

    Glad to hear the update fixed your problem. I don't understand why if you have been burning with 5.5 before it stopped working this time, but it could be simply the types of disks you were using too. All of them are different, even in the same batch. But I just bought a dvdrw and had to update Nero so it would recognize the dvd's I had. And my suite was NeroExpress 6.
