Quote - Byrdie, have you ever tried Nero? I used to use Roxio all the time, until I discovered Nero 6...have never looked back, and never upgraded as the StartSmart feature does all I need...and it plays well with everything I have on my machine :)

My old computer had Nero and I hated it.  A cousin who knows more about computers that I do introduced me to Roxio and it worked like a dream, so when I bought The Monster I upgraded to version 6. Have never had any trouble at all till recently and the only new programs I added were Spy Sweeper and Avast Anti virus. But I've since found that forgetting where the drives are is a bit of a habit with versions 7thru 8 of Roxio. Darn thing worked perfectly fine last night,  when I turned on my computer today it didn't have a clue. Luckily I was able to get a patch and now it's working again.  But I just might try Nero if this keeps happening, they've probably gotten rid of all the bugs it had when last I owned it some 5 or so years ago.
