Re: #@%&! But I HATE Fooling With Computers (Windows/Nero Question)

So I insalled my copy of Nero Version 5 on it and tried to burn a CD.
It doesn't see the CD drive as a real recorder, though, it appears. In
the "Chose Recorder" dialog box, it lists only one device:

Image Recorder, and under the "adapter" column, it says "Virtual
Device"

When I try to burn a CD, it asks me where to save the image file (which
the same program installed on other computers never asked). If I tell
it to save it, it doesn't burn anything on CD (but it does save a
file). If open that file in Nero and tell it to burn a CD, it again
asks me where to save the image file, and round and round we go.

What's going on here? It must be a Windows thing that's lying to Nero.
This is running Windows XP Home SP2. It's my first SP2. Maybe that
needs to be "fixed."

It means that Nero isn't recognizing your drive, at least not
as a drive capable of writing, so it is defaulting to writing
an image (ISO, etc.) file which it thinks is its only remaining
option.

Is this a full retail version of Nero, or is it one that was
bundled with some hardware drive purchase? I am not a
Nero fan, but I believe there are "crippleware" versions
that will work with only the brand/model drive it was
bundled with.

Oh, and I still have the old networking problem, in a
slightly different form with the new computer. $100 to
anyone who will come over here and fix it. I've had
all the virtual advice I can stand.

I don't remember what the networking problem was?
And where are you? Once upon a time I thought you
were in the Northwest, but then I got the impression
you are on the east coast?
