Software or driver error? Help!

[kidicarus]

I always used Nero previously to burn cds with and to burn off avi converted dvds, but now Nero wont burn at all, if it does the disc is blank when it says it has fnished burning.

Imgburn and CDburnerXP both burn fine, I also tried Roxio but that doesnt burn either disc comes out blank again, also when I put a blank dvd in, xp tells me I have inserted a blank cd, can anyone help?

Thanks

So Imgburn works fine and you've come to the Imgburn forum for us to help you fix Nero and Roxio?

No, what im asking is, does imgburn use different drivers to Nero and Roxio? and why do they burn and Nero and Roxio dont.

I'm not bothered what I use to burn, just curious, thought my writer had packed up until I use imgburn and found that it burns fine.

Post a burn log from Imgburn and we'll take a look at it.

The only difference that I know of is that Nero uses it's own NERO ASPI/SPTI.

[blutach]

You can use whatever interface you like - SPTI is the default and should work on everything. Some people with AnyDVD installed use ElbyCDIO. Older systems will require ASPI.

 

Post your filter driver load order from the tools menu.

This is the log;

 

===============================================

Filter Driver Load Order - ImgBurn v2.4.1.0

===============================================

 

Upper Device Filter: [None Found]

Upper Class Filter: [None Found]

Device: CD/DVD-ROM Device

Lower Class Filter: [None Found]

Lower Device Filter: [None Found]

 

Somethings not right there i'm guessing!

[blutach]

Yes. You should have an upper filter called redbook and a lower one called imapi. These are straight from the XP load.

 

Someone more skilled than I in filter management will come along and help you get them reinstalled.

Just ran Bustrace and it gave the following result;

That is strange, yes. The registry key

 

HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Enum/IDE/CDRom(name and ID of drive) should contain all the filters. You might check it.

Imapi and redbbook are listed as filters in the registry. Just looked at hardware entries and I seem to have 3 instances of Primary and Secondary IDE channel, and 3 Standard Dual Channel IDE Controller entries. Might just do a reinstall probly be easier!!

Delete the controller and reboot. Please see the FAQ.

[kidicarus]

OK, tried that still have 3 of everything listed, do I have to uninstall all 3 controller entries or just one?

Thanks btw

[blutach]

I'd try the lot.
