I have a brand new machine running Win XP Pro + a Philips CD burner. I'm using Nero Burning Rom (5.5) to burn my CD's and so far I didn't have any problem. The situation now is that I can still burn any data CD without any problem, but as soon as I copy one of my music CD, or create a music CD from MP3's to Audio in order to make it readbale by my HIFI, Nero just hangs at 6% and the only solution to get rid of it is a hard shut down. It seems that it hangs when burning the lead-in track, but I'm not quite sure. I don't think it's a problem with the CD burner as data CD's are fine; but I can't point where could be the software problem.
I alrready tried to decrease the burning speed, to burn an image first, to try an older version of Nero; same results. Would you know what else I could try ? Thanks in advance

Clear out your temp directory files and see if that cures it. Otherwise you could try some other burners. Any support from nero offered?

Have you done this ...

(Windows XP Application Compatibility Update (October 25, 2001))

I assume you have since it is from 2001, but have you checked for additional updates? I had a similar problem with a DVD program after installing XP SP 1. I went back to winupdate and there were a few more compatibility updates. Installed them and viola, the program worked again.

I would also check Nero's (Ahead) page for patches with full compatibility with win XP.

Hope this helps.
