Thank you, Shane!
The help was useful and informative and appreciated! If anything else comes to mind, please let me know. One thing I haven't tried is getting compressed air and blowing out the CD-R/W drive. Maybe, unplugging it and letting Windows re-recognize it and then reinstalling Nero would help. I'll try anything and have not given up. Such a relatively small problem, but sometimes those are the most difficult to solve! Thanks again! If anything comes to mind, I'm all ears! John S. "Shane" wrote in message ... Good luck John. Sorry we couldn't help. Shane "John Sliva" wrote in message ... Hello (yet) again, I've tried them all: updates, uninstalls, registry searches, fresh installs, etc.,... you name it. The CD-R/W disks still cannot be reformatted, and occasionally the previous ones cannot be added to or subtracted from. I did get the Nero 5.5.10.56 and it worked fine as far as CD-R's are concerned. I believe InCD 3.5.24.0 is the last of version 3 and that's what "used" to work well for me. I tried version 4 of InCD and that brought on a whole new set of problems, so I removed it completely and went back to struggling with 3.5.24.0. It's got to be something really simple that I'm missing, like a registry key entry or something similar. I'm NOT a quitter, but I've got to give it a rest. I don't want to burden anyone else with this problem. I was hoping someone out there had "been there, done that" and had a good idea from first hand experience. When I get this solved, hopefully with a little more help, I'll tell the world! Actually, I did find one or two others who had the exact same problem using Google. There were no answers for them either. So, I'm number three! My last resort, and it may not be so bad or expensive, is to dump this Pine (...Mitsumi?) 24x10x40 burner and replace it with some "brand" name. But who knows, Nero may still refuse to work! Oh, the HUMANITY! ;-) Thanks again, and I'll "keep my stick on the ice." John Sliva "Shane" wrote in message ... Not sure what Nero version you're on. Not that it should matter except in that whichever, you can probably still get a free update to a later build. This is advisable as it has become a significantly more stable product over the years. Obviously you're not using Nero 6, but with luck you are using Nero 5.5. If so you can update for free to Nero551056, but anyway look he http://www.nero.com/en/nero-up_vor.php for what you can update to. More importantly perhaps though is that you can update for free to the very latest version of InCD. Take a look he http://www.nero.com/en/update.php?pak=5 InCD, much more than Nero, has benefitted from continual development. If you are having issues then you really want to be using the latest build. Shane "John Sliva" wrote in message ... Hello all, OK, I'm stumped, really stumped. I've managed to pull out of a lot of Windows ME "nose dives", but this one is different. Here's what I've tried so far, with no results: 1) Completely uninstalled both Nero and InCD. 2) Hunted down every instance of both Adaptec and Roxio in the registry and deleted them (...there were a bunch!). 3) Reinstalled the OEM Nero and InCD that came with the CD-R/RW drive (...the drive is a "Pine" 24x10x40). 4) Bought some NEW Sony 1x2x4 CD-RW's. 5) Tried to format one with InCD - Didn't work. Got error code 0051-0003-0064-00c0 6) Updated both Nero and InCD to the last version updates I once had been using successfully - Didn't work, same error. 7) Put in a previously formatted CD-RW and it is recognized, but I can neither add to it nor delete from it. 8) Big whoop, I can still record CD-R's. At least Nero seems to be working as before. It's just that InCD is acting up. Any help/suggestions would again be much appreciated, even if to say "trash that Pine drive and get something with a "brand name""! Would switching over to Roxio have it's share of glitches? I'm just puzzled as to what happened to cause all this and that I cannot seem to undo it. Somehow, I must have shot myself in the foot! Ouch! Again, thanks for reading.

PROBLEM SOLVED... ...PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! It turned out to be the simplest cu run one of those CD lens cleaner discs in the drive. We had one in the house that was probably close to ten years old and we also had plenty of liquid in the little bottle that came with it. I had nothing to lose. I ran it through the drive per the instructions. That did the trick. I can now format, read, write, add, delete to CD-R/W disks. Well, most of them. This "Pine" drive seems to like the "Staples" brand CD-R/W disk, it spits out Sony's. I can live with that. I make it a point to periodically chuck CD-R/W disks I've used for a while, mostly the back-up ones. Also, the older version of InCD works all the time where as the newer 3.5.24.0 version does not. For me at least. So, that's my story. Hope this helps someone else out. Never give up! Thanks again! John Sliva "John Sliva" wrote in message ... Thank you, Shane!

Super!! And I remember now that I had problems with CD's that were *gold*.
Blue and silver recording sides work fine with this Samsung CD-RW......but not gold, as in *Kodak gold*. Took me forever to figure it out as well.....so glad to hear your good news!!
