I am having some problems running inCD (version 3.5.19.2) bundled with Nero Express version OEM 5.5.10.4.
The pattern is as follows. I write a file (large 50MB+ with several folders, each with several files) to disc by opening "My computer" , until I get to the folder I want, right-clicking on the file and selecting "Send to Drive D" (the CDRW drive) . Everything appears to go OK for a while but eventually the system crashes (momentarily displaying an error message on a black screen) and reboots. If i now attempt to drag and drop any files to the disc, usually on the second file the system will hang. The only way to recover is to do a full manual power off and on again.
I tried 2 different media, both branded: 2 separate PNY 700MB rewritables and a Sony 650MB (1x to 4x) rewritable. They were blank, fresh out of the box, unused, and they got a full format beforehand with inCD. I got the same pattern of crashes/System hangs with both of them! I have no problems reading CDRW discs however.
I seem to be able to transfer the odd file or two succesfully (using the above described method) as long as there hasn't previously been a crash in that session of writing but any large scale transfer and the system seems to go belly-up. I also find the system slow to respond to my "send to" command when writing individual files - sometimes there is no animation which leaves the user wondering what on earth is going on.
This is a brand new laptop, the operating system and drivers were preinstalled for me by the manufacturers (Evesham) the OEM Nero Express, inCD etc, was also supplied as a CD-ROM. Therefore it would be reasonable to assume that the software should work with the basic Win XP system.
However I also installed "Master Unit" , part of the Cubasis VST 4.0 (multitrack recorder) package. This application is used to burn Audio CDs only. I uninstalled it just in case, but I still get the same errors with inCD afterwards. All I have installed apart form that is Cubasis VST 4.0, Goldwave, a yamaha wave editor, Wavelab lite (wave editor) "Ability office" and a few small applications for handling Zoom PS02 files.
There are no antivirus programs installed, nor firewall - the laptop is not connected to the internet. I have never installed any other packet writing software to the system. The CDRW writer is correctly displayed in "device Manager".
If it is "Master Unit" causing the problem, and it is a big IF, then perhaps the uninstall didn't remove everything it should have. However i am not sure how to check if the uninstall was complete, and what to do about it. Or maybe the problem is elsewhere. Either way i'd appreciate some help.
An ancillary question is: Do I need to match the CDRW/CDR media to my burner write speed? I never bothered about this before, but i wonder what the consensus is.
Another problem is that the Win XP laptop (with Nero Express and In CD) cannot read CDRW discs created on a Win 98 PC using CD creator (version 3). In fact any attempt to read these discs can crash my laptop. Also i cannot do a full format on these discs to reuse them either. I am suprised at this because both programs recognise the UDF format. So what is going on here?
PS: Sorry about the length of this post. I've attached many of the technical details of the system as i can.
