| 713988 | 2008-10-22 22:10:00 | Vista Ultimate 64 4GB RAM Nero 8 Asus DRW-2014L1T SATA DvD writer Whenever I put a burnt Dual Layer DvD into my PC to view the contents windows explorer hangs. Other programs such as firefox take ages to open. When I put in a blank DvD DL it's fine. I can explore the disk and nothing else hangs The firmware on DvD writer (dual layer capable) is up to date, I seem to have enough free space on my OS partition (30GB) |

| 713990 | 2008-10-22 22:39:00 | Try this . Click on Pearl (aka start) - Type Device Manager in the Start Search field . - When Device Manager loads then go down to the DVD/CD-ROM drives selection - Right click on each drive in question then choose UNINSTALL - Reboot your PC or click on the little icon just below the help (when you put your mouse over it, it should say 'scan for hardware changes' . This SHOULD resolve your issue . Note: If you have any DVD Burning software installed or iTunes or any OLD CD burning software this will cause unwanted issues also and a CLEAN BOOT might be necessary . :) |

| 713993 | 2008-10-22 23:57:00 | Couldn't I just use a 3rd party app like Startup Inspector for Windows? | supersi (8401) | ||
| 713994 | 2008-10-23 00:01:00 | What happens if you try a commercial DVD , like the ones Supplied on PC World Mags - Does it still hang, or only on ones you created ?? Is it only DL DVD's or single layer as well ?? |

| 713995 | 2008-10-24 03:23:00 | Is there a free alternative to the OEM Nero 8 I got with my DvD writer? I'm sick of Nero it constantly gives me problems and also tries to sell me more of their crappy software when I start it up. |

| 713996 | 2008-10-24 06:48:00 | Use cdburnerxp its free. Or Imgburn which burns ISO's / data cd's I think Not too sure what else it can do, I've never used it |
