Ok before anyone says upgrade firmware here it is


Found this

[jblitz277]

Thanks soup but,I don't know what that means

[jblitz277]

Hey soup I tried what that post said and I don't know if it's because I have Vista but,my prog files are not set up same way

[doctorhardware]

The keys that Soup has posted is of the registry, the command to edit the registry is regedit.

[jblitz277]

Ok I went into my registry to nero 8 toolkit dvdspeed and what do I type? I tried to lease something in there and it didn't work

Courtesy of mciahel.

Vista 64 bit:

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MA CHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ahead\Nero Toolkit\CD Speed\CD Quality

There you'll find an entry named "Blocked" that contains a couple of strings like "PLEXTOR, HL-DT-ST, TSST, Samsung". This has to be edited in order to remove the references to Samsung and TSST. Just delete anything but PLEXTOR and HL-DT-ST and you are done. Do not delete the whole "Blocked" key.

If the registry modifications above do not work, then have a look at this registry key (CD/DVD Speed):

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero Toolkit\CD Speed
or
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero Toolkit\CD Speed

If there is an entry named "Disable Disc Quality Test", then set its value to "0" (zero)
For "Disc Speed" that comes with Nero 8, similar might apply (not yet verified)

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nero\Nero 8\Nero Toolkit\DiscSpeed

(You might also check the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree for later versions)
Notes:

1. The "Blocked" entry is created after your first attempt to scan a disc.
2. If Nero is not installed, Nero's wnaspi32.dll has to be downloaded from Nero.com and copied into the directory CD/DVD Speed or DiscSpeed is installed.
This is how it should look at the end of your journey, after you have modified.

[jblitz277]

How do I take a snapshot like that of my registry editor?Mine doesn't have all those options but,you guys won't believe it unless you see it and I have 32bit vista does that make a difference?

[Chewy]

alt printscreen

paste into paint save as png files

[jblitz277]

alt printscreen not working you mean push both of those at same time?

[jblitz277]

I see you soup I went to nero and searched for wnaspi32 and didn't find a dl
I have my registry minimized right now and Am trying to figure out how to show you guys

[soup]

Hold down Alt, then then Prt Scr, let go, open up Paint & right click in the open window, Paste as new image. File, Save as, Reg1.png.

Edit: don't worry the block is in there somewhere, we will find it. Try just prt scr let go then Paint. BRB.
