I installed a Cd/Writer with Nero soft ware, but it would not work. (52/24/52) I have a slower one, I put that in, and that one worked. Plus, I want to use a different software. Tell me what settings must I use?

check the specifications on your blank cd's. what write speed are they rated at? you could probably just slow down the write speed setting and use the faster drive until you use up those blanks...

How fast is your CPU?

How much RAM is installed?

Which version of Windows?

Are any other drives on the same IDE cable as the CD-RW drive?

What other software do you want to use?

We need to know ALL of the above to provide a good answer to your question.

In Windows, the driver for your CD drives is handled by the IDE driver for the chip-set on your motherboard.

For CD recording, the software package adds a driver for writing to the CD-RW drive.

Older slower CPUs may not support new fast CD-RW drives. At least not at full speed.

Make sure the jumpers are right for master slave.

Tell us how it does not work.
No lights, won't spin, won't read a disk, ect.

That will help us help you
