Nero Problem, Pls Heeeelp!

[Agamalizard]

My good people,

I have been using nero cd burner software for more than three years without a any problem. But lately the reverse is the case.

I started having the problem immidiately I downloaded its latest update which is version 5.5.10.15 OEM.

This is the problem:

Each time I want to start burning, if I click to open "Write CD Dialog" or "CD Copy Dialog" the program would just disappear immediately. :angry: :angry:

And when this happens I can only be able to restart the program if I go to the Windows Task Manager to "End proceess" of burning engine called "imapi.exe". If I try to restart nero without doing this it will display below error message;

"Another application is currently using the Windows burning engine(IMAPI). Please quit the other application and start Nero again."

I have not been able to burn CDs because of this problem. I have done fresh re-installation more than 3 times to no avail. Please I will appriciate any help from anyone. I use Win XP pro.

Thanx in advance. :(

HI !
Al ia can think could b causein the conflict with nero is windows own built in bunrer ,tri deactivating it,c if that works.If u use nero or somthing u don't need it runnin anyway.

Control panel/admintools/component servives/services/
then look through the list for -imapi cd burning-right click and press stop
Good luck! :)

DARKSHADOW,

I did what you suggested and started nero the problem still repeated. I tried to restart it never started. It seems "mapi" is important to nero because putting it off affect it.

Master YodaX,

If you had read my post well, you would have obviously understood that I've re-installed it 3 times.

I have finally rectified the stupid problem :) For anyone who may encounter such problem this below is the remedy.

I unstalled nero and used a program called "jv16 PowerTools" to clean up the registry, which makes registry free of craps. Then I re-installed nero and it starts working perfectly as usual :) I recommend it to you guys.

Thanx guys, for all you noble suggestions. ;)
