Hi,
I am a newbie on this forum guys, and I have this annoying issue with Nero burning Moser Baer media. I´ve updated IDE Contorllers drivers, and firmware is 1.04, which is according to my investigations the latest one, and have cleaned burning lens too. However since now, it destroyed me like 5-6 cd´s and I am getting little bit *****. Any suggestions, clues, tips?
Here´s log from Nero:

A "Session Fixation Error" is an awkward error to fix at first view, as you can get totally confused with all the apparent fix's everyone tells you to try,
The ONLY Fix is simply,
Try a totally differant kind of CD or DVD ie a differant manufacturer, also if your drive writes to Plus and Minus try the opposite, ie if your having problems writing to Plus drives try Minus, BUT MAKE SURE you buy a totally differant brand though.

Hi there,

1) You might want to edit your message, and remove your NERO KEY before someone steals it !

2) I noticed this in your LOG:

Memory in use : 83 %

You are like me, you have 1000 little apps running in the background :)

Also noticed you tryed to burn at 32x.

I am far far away of beeing a nero log reader expert, but can you burn those media a slower speed ?

Try one at 8x, 16x and see if you are still getting errors.

I may be way way off track here, but it's something *I* would try.

Good luck, making coaster is never fun for no one !
