Nero Compatibility Problem

[Denney]

Heya guys. I'm pretty sure this goes here as it is hardware related.

I own an MSI DR8-A DVD burner. I'm also using Nero v6.6.0.6 to burn my CD's and DVD's.

Everything was fine until I upgraded my Pentium 3 and motherboard to a brand new Athlon 64 2800+ and Abit KV8-Pro combination.

Now, Nero will not burn CD's any quicker than 16x UNLESS I run the "Determine Maximum Speed" test before I burn EACH AND EVERY CD. I don't see how a new CPU and motherboard could effect such things.

All my other programs (Alcohol, UltraISO (which uses the Nero engine funnily enough)) all burn at 40x without problems.

I've tried re-installing Nero and even installing an older version. Hell, today I even reinstalled Windows (fresh install) and it didn't fix my problem.

It even verifies the CD at normal speed.

Has anyone had any similar problems?

Bah... with the new Nero v6.6.0.8 it plain refuses to burn above 16x... even when higher speeds are selected.

At least the maximise problem I had with v6.6.0.6 is fixes...

try downloading the 6.6.6.8

Check your UDMA settings for your Burner - Nero can be picky about it if it is enabled.....

Yes check your DMA status and also download the latest drivers for your mobo chipset..

Hope I've helped you..
