Will someone look at logfile, nero burn

[lancenpam]

Hello, can someone please take a look at the attached log file? My drive is so odd, it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes, I'm currently trying to burn on lightscribe disc. I have been successful using them many times before and don't understand why it works when it wants to. any ideas??? Thanks for your help!!!

[Chewy]

well this might be a little complicated but these kind of errors are hard to track down

your log shows remnants of roxio/easycd and that aspi isn't much better

use add and remove programs for the roxio/easy cd
then run

http://tools.roxio.com/support/tools/roxizap.exe

then kill aspi with

if you haven't done so lately I would uninstall nero, run the clean tool and reinstall


I hope if it's the drive(dell?) it's still under warranty

If I ...

If I uninstall roxio can I get it back? All my music playlists are on roxio.

[Chewy]

roxio is even worse about getting corrupt than nero

you shouldn't ever mix roxio and nero software on the same computer

playlists are nice but being able to burn dvd's is even nicer

you could always find the saved lists and back them up?

the other option is clean any filters out that roxio put in the registry, it won't burn without them tho

this gets very complicated quick

[lancenpam]

Yes, I agree

Definately better to be able to burn dvd's... what is the best music player and recorder, nero? I know nero burns but can u use it to also just play music from your pc? Roxio does have problems, I have had to uninstall and reinstall it a few times, when player would freeze up. Thanks.. .

Well we use either Media Player Classic or VLC Media Player to play audio but my wife uses Nero Burning ROM to burn her CD's.

I don't know what to do with this link... I uninstalled roxio,now ready for this. Thanks, again.

then kill aspi with

Help again plz, uninstalled Roxio, Burn failed, log attached

Hello, would appreciate it if someone would look at the attached nero log. I uninstalled Roxio but didn't know what to do with the 2nd link above... Thanks again

[Chewy]

you just clink on the killaspi.bat and it removes adaptec's aspi from your computer

nero has it's own aspi and xp doesn't need one

might try a burn with imgburn to see if your burner is still any good, seeing a lot of those LG/dell? burners die

[lancenpam]

kill aspi

I'm sorry, I don't know where to find killaspi. This link takes me to a non-executable file. I searched for aspi on pc and came up with a lot of results but I dont see anything about killing the process.. Thanks.. this is the link i'm using from above, in the forum.. Thanks again for all your support

works for me

hit run or just save to the desktop

[lancenpam]

That worked.. but

When i clicked the link from here it opened like a text file, but saving to desktop was what i needed to do. Thanks! I had 1 successful Nero burn after this update, then 1 burn fail. I used IMGburn, had a successful burn. I wish it was dependable and worked every time.

[Chewy]

don't burn faster than 8x, see general computing for power user optimization and freeing resources

got way too much running on your computer

[lancenpam]

Seems to default to ...

My burns seem to default to 4X. At least the last 2 failed burns were at 4X. Now I'm needing to update Fixvts I think, it's telling me I need to update it.. but also need to find out which file I am suppose to rename. I have several .. Im going to browse the forums... and see if something jumps out at me

Thanks!
