I am not sure if my problem is directly Nero related.
One of the problems pointed out in my Nero fail logs is a lack of available memory. My hard drive crashed last month and was replaced. I have re-installed all my software on my Compaq lap top. I use Windows XP.
Here is the relevant portion of my most recent log (I was attempting to burn a data DVD-R, I have produced 4 coasters and zero successes since the hard drive crash, it worked fine pre-crash):
AutoRun : 1
Excluded drive IDs:
WriteBufferSize: 66060288 (0) Byte
ShowDrvBufStat : 0
BUFE : 0
Physical memory : 446MB (457712kB)
Free physical memory: 66MB (67952kB)
Memory in use : 85 %
Uncached PFiles: 0x0
Use Inquiry : 1
Global Bus Type: default (0)
Check supported media : Disabled (0)
At the time of this attempted burn, I was coming off a fresh re-boot.
On the advice of a friend, I went to:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ and removed what I could from the startup via msconfig.
I also can terminate one other non-essential process.
Current - only running (applications) firefox to post this and Windows Task Manager, my physical memory is listed as:
Physical Memory (K)
Total: 457712
Available 162772
Sytem Cache 220396
When I then click on Nero and go into Nero burning ROM:
it changes to Available: 143972
System Cache: 204528
Shut down any virus, spyware, adware progs. Also any monitoring devices, media card monitors, cpu monitors, etc. Go into Task Manager and see what is hogging all your memory.
ok, will try to help if i can. i'm not as good with the pinpointing memory hogging programs as there's so many programs out there and i don't know them all!
