No, but I've seen conflicts between Nero and Roxio if they are both installed.

A step in the right direction
Ok I found the latest Firmware update for the drive off of their european website (rather than their US website), 1031 rev.
Following the instructions with crossed fingers, that solve the issue of the NERO activities locking up the pc when doing something with a DVD. My guess it had nothing to do with the software, but was more likely the drive and the media. But since I don't have another DD burning software I couldn't test that theory. The media used was Memorex DVD+rw, which searching on the internet comes up alot as a problem media with this drive. |
