Nero Laggage

For some reason whenever i try to burn a CD... Using Nero... My compuer locks up and lags like there is no tomorrow.

I don't know if it has to do with the program itself or my computer...

But for example if I play music while burning, the music glitches up soooooooo badly along with just doing ANYTHING the laggage is tooo crazy..

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but it is HORRIBLE and I don't know of any good Burning Software to test if it is just Nero or whatnot...


---In need of an Explanation/Fix or a Substitute Program that I could replace it with---

was it always like this?
how many ram do you have?
what version of nero?
if you have an 'older' pc you should use nero 5 instead of 6. (uses less memory)

It wasn't always like this... it just recently occured a few days back...

I have precisely 1 GB of RAM

I am using Nero 6.6.0.15

Ummm not sure for the 'older-pc' part I mean my comptuer is about 3-4 years old.. But it isn't really that 'bad' or anything...
