the ctfmon is a program that runs for the office xp and office 2000 i've had problems with my games and that one application before, try and remove it from the startup procedure, might help... but i'm not sure.. have fun...

the thing with nero is that it determines the maximum writable speed of your media, and then it set's that as the maximum speed you can write with, so you can't damage your media by writing to fast to it... when you pop out the cd in the drive it will show 52x as max speed.. and if you then put in an old media (like 8x or some) then it will show 8x as the fastest speed.. but find some good 52x medias and then it should work...
