Re: conflict of software Nero Recordnow Drivers - or ??

Hmmm,,, seems to me that Direct CD is the UDF burning/reading software for
CDRWs that belongs to the older Roxio/Adaptec EasyCd Creator software. It
could be the cause of your problems. The reader portion of DirectCD can be
installed automatically/accidentally from any UDF formatted disks that were
made with the Roxio/Adaptec software.

Having that UDF reader/writing program installed can certainly conflict with
either or both of Nero and RecordNow, especially if you also have their
version of UDF reading/burning program installed.

Nero's UDF burning application is called InCD. RecordNow uses, or did use,
an app called DLA (Drive Letter Access) to do the same thing. These are all
UDF burning applications for CDRWs that run as TSRs on your computer. They
all do basically the same thing, format (and write to) CDRW disks so that
you can use them like floppy discs, but AFAIK the discs they make are not
compatible with each other's systems. You should not have more than one of
these installed on the computer.

I thought I did restore it to that point - it did go away, but my drive
still
didnt work. I also un-installed Nero but that didnt do it either.
Somewhere
along the line I read they had some kind of conflicts - with the driver or
nero's virtual drive (direct CD ??) I think I too have Nero 6 and
RecordNow 7
or 7.1 - I'm thinking now that un-installing both of them is not going to
get
my drive to work again, but I am going to try it today. Hoping atleast by
uninstalling them both it will stop further issues they might cause.

Thanks and I'll let you know.

You should be able to restore the computer to a point before you
installed
Nero and get rid of it that way. The restore you already did was
apparently
to a point after Nero was installed, so it got put back on but was only
partially recovered. Re-installing Nero then uninstalling it again is
another way that should get rid of the unwanted files and drivers.
Reboots
required at each step.

FWIW, I have both Nero and RecordNow on this computer without having any
problems, but both are slightly older versions (Nero 6, RecordNow 7) and
that could be the difference.

If a Disk came with my Dell computer, then Yes I should still have it.

If not - and because of un installing them I CAN use my drive again, I
can
always buy something. I was kind of worrid about not having it, and
not
wanting to use the Nero again and then being Without a program to burn
stuff,
but... With out a drive they dont do me much good - well actually my
CDRW
drive does work, but it won' hold much, nor do the disks work well with
other
DVD players (which was the first issue I started having -since I knew
nothing
about any of it) As I'm sure you know Not All players read All Disks.

Try Uninstalling both Programs. Do you still have the Record Now

As with most who post questions, I do not know much about these
kinds
of
things but have tried to include everything I know so as to speed up
questions and answers.

How can I uninstall everything relating to NERO, it seams to have
caused
my
new DVDRW drive to quit working - It will not read Any type of dics,
always
says "Please insert disk into Drive D:" If I can get rid of Just its
Drivers
I may fix my problem.

I have had recordnow on this XP for a couple years and No problems
(though
I
haven't used it much). I put a DVD drive in and loaded the software
that
came
with it - thinking I had to... I burned a couple disks then starting
having
some issues like DVD drive would change names - back and forth CD -
DVD -
and
other issues cant remember. So as I was in the middle of learning
how
to
burn things tried to use Recordnow again, I think it did work kept
going
back
and forth (was getting confused but seamed different things kept
happening).
NOW no CD or DVD will play or show up, Every different disk from new
movies,
Blank CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R and video DVD-RW, nor any music CD's I
have -
everyone I try to open I get the message "please insert disk into
Drive
D"
Of
course there is a disk in it.

I have spent the last 4 days at about 7 hours each day searching the
internet for possible cause and nothing has worked. Have stopped
antivirus -
Norton from running to see if it was blocking a driver or something.
Ran
device and every other scan I could find. Uninstalled and
reinstalled
the
drive. used system restore (used in Safe mode so it would not let me
undo
it
-as it didn't help). Uninstalled nero - didn't help - then it came
back
when
I messed with the restore. Checked on Dell web as there was some
kind
of
issue, but didn't exactly relate so did nothing there. The last
suggestion
was regarding the Nero and Recordnow having conflicting Drivers,
evidently
when you have Recordnow (or other software like this) and then
install
Nero
It messes things up and even after uninstalling Nero- Recordnow will
not
work, the suggestion was Roxie might have connected to the NERO
virtual
drive. Is the only solution to uninstall Recordnow too?

Nero support wants me to use their clean tool but that will
disconnect
the
drivers from Recordnow, which is the program I prefer to use.
Recordnow
has
no actual place to ask them how to keep Roxie and get rid of Nero.

Until I found out about this possible issue I was concerned my DVD
drive
was
done for... I don't mind buying a new one (though this has only been
in
two
weeks) I just don't know if it would do any good, I mean seams if
the
drive
issue is the problem then I would Still have that issue. I don't
know
how
to
figure out if the Drive is broken or or or.

If I uninstalled Both programs, would that also get rid of all the
drivers
So when I started over there would not be these issues?

Gosh that about covers it, and Thanks in advance just for reading it
all.
