Hi guys,

How bout the DVD/CD Burning software? I havent personally tried yet, but from what I heard earlier, there were issues concerning Nero's burning software and Vista.

I'm using the Nero Burning Program which came with my SONY DRU-810A. It's an OEM version which wont run on any other optical drive but the one it came with.

I didnt notice any patches or upgrades in the "SUPPORT" section in www.nero.com.

Any idea how to fix this for free?

Thanx ya.

The latest nero 7 works with Vista, the "issues" comes from ppl that uses Nero 6, found that it won't work, and say Nero won't work with Vista

Thanx guys,
Looks like I have no choice but to get NERO 7. Coz the NERO OEM bundled with my optical drive's a NERO 6.

Added on April 21, 2007, 6:12 amOk, here's another question:

Essentially, VISTA and XP are two separate OSes, correct?
So, if I were to install these OSes in separate HDDs, theoretically, they shouldnt share the system resources right?

By sharing I mean, when VISTA's active, XP doesnt contribute to RAM usage and vice-versa.

I've configured myself a dual-boot system, because some of my programs wont work in VISTA.

Here's the problem: Recently I ran C&C3 in XP; after installing VISTA and it lagged! Prior to the VISTA installation, C&C3 ran smoothly. Not only C&C3, some of my other games also experienced noticeable slowdowns.

The only way for me to run C&C3 smoothly in XP is to unplug the HDD with VISTA installed, after unplugging, the game ran smoothly again.

Y is this happening???? Theoretically, these OSes shouldn't be sharing the memory. Or am I wrong?

Any advice or solutions for this lil problem of mine?

P.S: Sorry if it's too long. I didnt feel like mincing my words lest some1 might misinterpret my question.

Just wanna ask if anybody has the same problem as mine. After a while i will be unable to surf the net, but my downloads in bitcomet are still running, the only way i can surf again is to restart my pc, even resetting the modem also won't help. I had tried changing network cards and even modem, but the problem is still there, btw i am using Dlink DSL500T router+modem, i hope someone would help me on this, really annoying need to restart pc everytime i cannot online.
