Thanks for the advice but I had done/checked that.
I finally got it working.
I had to delete/remove Nero INCD from the system.
Found that looking the the knowledgebase.
But trying to reinstall INCD only partially works now.
I can read/write to the CDRW but I can't get the menu to format a new disk
etc.
I have downloaded the newest ide, INCD files etc.
Will keep trying.
