I also cleaned out the registry, after making backups, of course. Now my Asus 1608P2 DVD writer won't write anymore. I've tried uninstalling the device through device manager - XP finds and installs drivers, but it still won't write. I SysRestored to the previous night, and still no joy. I'm about to SysRestore to last week[edit - just checked and can't restore any earlier than last night - ccleaner must have got those restore points as well!] , but before I do, does anyone have any ideas about this? I was just about to do a backup... AMD 2800+ MSI K8N Neo PLatinum 1GB DDR RAM ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB	Lizard (2409)

I uninstalled and reinstalled both, and at first it wouldn't work through NeroVision Express SE, but when I went through Nero SmartStart and specifically selected DVD Data it worked. However, I'm still stunned that XP can't burn direct to DVD. I could have sworn I'd done it in the past - is there some way to enable this?	Lizard (2409)

SE maybe missing things Nerovision uses. Nerovision also has Nerovision Express, which lets you select different options (doing VCD's/DVD's etc). The only thing with burning with Nerovision as well, is some options need a serial, or a plugin to enable the option.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
