Nero 5.5 errors with burning CD's

In trying to burn music onto a CD-R, I noticed I could not play the audio preview in Nero, so I uninstalled and re-installed the product.

And so I thought it was working fine.

Now I cannot burn anything to a CD at all?

Errors like this:

-could not perform end track
-invalid writestate

Help! I need to backup my computer!

Also, is there anything else I can use should this software be bad,etc.

????

 

I agree with Halo - it could be that your IDE Cable is not connected properly. Nero 5.5 is a very good program, and you shouldn't be having any problems with it.
After you uninstall it - go to your program files folder, and make sure the Ahead folder has been deleted. Then reboot and reinstall.
Good luck.

 

The latest updates I've found bring Nero 5 up to Nero 5.5.10.56

Do you have that installed?

 

Thanks for the info. With your question, I can play music on the CD-RW and my OS is Win ME.

 

No I do not have the updates installed. When I looked for that on the Nero website, I seen only the Nero 6 support.

 

latest 5.5 release
ftp://ftp4.nero.com/nero551056.exe

 

Thank you.

 

I tried that and received the following error message:

Cover designer 2.2.1.11 could not be found.

 

Thanks Kodo! It is working fine.......

After I ran the exe file you mentioned, it then allowed me to run the update.

Much appreciated!!!!!!!

 

Guess what! The problems continue....
In the process of burning a CD, I now receive the following error

"session fixation error", could not perform fixation

Yikes. I was in the process of downloading pics from my digitial camera and everything worked fine. All connections are good, and I see the drive as F.

Help.

 

try burning at a slower speed.
check for firmware upates to your burner.

consider trying CDBurnerXP or Deep Burner as posted above.

 

WARNING: LOTS of Nero 5 software that came with the CD BURNERS is Proprietary just to that drive model and serial #.
NERO OEM 5 Softwares will not all work on any CD BURNER.
BUT if you have a NERO 5 "retail" product then it has more of a chance to work with MORE CD BURNER manufactures & model Numbers... ALSO YOU will need the serial # to install it where they tell you OR NERO will shut down and stop working.
IF you cant locate the Serial number any where,,, then go to NERO website & they tell you how to get it out the registry.
YOUR NERO SOFTWARE HAD TO COME IN THE BOX WITH THE BURNER,,,, IF NOT THEN BUY THE RETAIL VERSION # 6 and use it,,,,
TOO BE SURE,,,, e-mail nero your MAKE& model number of your burner and they will let you know if any software they have is compatible !
I have 2 burners that did the same thing.
YOU must go to NERO website & find their tool downloads.
There is s software download that will completly CLEAN & uninstall NERO. Do that 1st.
Also download their DRIVER cleaner tool and run it.
If their are any DRIVERS that conflict with NERO then that tool will allow you to disable them.
Now,,, Install Nero soft ware and all should work!

 

I tried the Deep burner software and recevied error messages as well.
I will New Orleans lead and see if that works.

 

I've never heard of this.. can you please provide Ahead's documentation on this? I've never had problems with Nero5 as you suggest.

 

Thanks everyone for your assistance. I am looking at all the messages.

I will keep you posted on the results.

Geeks rule!

 

I have attached the txt file.

 

Response to KODO ,,, had 2 drives that caused me problems,,, each drive had a Nero 5 software but were not Compatible with each other,,,
Contacting Nero and explaining the issue they Quickly informed me of their policy for each manufacture.
But they supplied me with the tools ,,, installed & tried them& NOW all problems are gone!
Nero techs were clear and informative !!!

 

Thank you,
I find that interesting because in the last year I have ordered 3 different model burners for the facility that I am at and installed one Nero cd on from one of drives on each. There were no issues regarding a particular "version" of nero not being compatible with a particular drive. That kind of defeats the purpose of their software. In any case, I'm not trying to discredit you in any way. I'm suggesting that perhaps their techs were not telling you the truth. It's possible. Anything's possible. It's also possible by the time I used their software they didn't have this policy or perhaps the drive manufacturers didn't have any proprietary bits.. interesting.

 

Need help with installing firmwire. New to me....

It starts to say"

1. Choose Target drive to CRW 2440
2. Choose source file

I have never installed firmwire before.

Re: Nero 5.5 errors with burning CD's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original message from Halo:

Firmware for that drive is now at 2.08 ( the update description covers more media types supported )

http://download.aopen.com.tw/downloads/default.asp?Language=English

 

Thanks for the reply. I will try again and let you know of my progress. I remember that it also asks you to load the bin file. Where? I found a C: bin file in my computer.?????????

 

Thanks Halo. I will try this and let you know if it works.

 

The Nero problem still exists:

I have successfully installed the firmware version 2.08 and double checked to make sure it was okey.

I then tried to burn a CD and received the following error:

"session fixation error, could not perform fixation, burn process failed"


This is scary as I need to back up my computer and I even tried the Deep Back burner program, and that did not work either.

However, the audio does play in Nero where as before no sound was coming out.

Any ideas on the next step?????

 

I tried that as well as reducing the speed and still received the errors. I tried some data and then music, with no luck.

I have also sent a e-mail to Nero, in hopes I will receive a reply from them as well.

Thank you for replying. But I will experiment again and reduce the amount of data and see what happens again. And the fun begins....wish me luck.

 

Well I finally broke down and sent a message to Aopen who are the source of the hardware. Here is the reply I received from their tech support:

Try the drive onto another system. Make sure your up to date in driver
updates

If problem persist, it will be a bad drive

AOpen Technical Support 338

 

Still stumped:

Found this link and http://www.cdrom-drivers.com/companies/90.htm?acd=3&rvd=5&thx=9&bng=7&o=4
and still received this error message.

"A required .DLL file, NEWTRF.DLL was not found. Windows cannot access the specified device path or file"

I am giving this problem a few more weeks and then the computer goes to the hospital.

 

And the story continues...Here is the latest message from Nero:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in our products.

Uninstall any other recording software and run the Nero cleantool to remove any software conflicts:

First make sure you have your Nero 5 serial key to install Nero/Nero Express with.
It should look like 15xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx. the serial number should be located on the inside of the Nero Jewel case, or on the back of the paper sleeve the Nero CD came in.
You can also go into your Registry, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and under SOFTWARE_AHEAD_NERO BURNING-ROM_INFO obtain your Nero 5 serial key from here.
Then download NeroClean Tool from
ftp://ftp9.nero.com/attach/Nero-CleanTool.zip
to your desktop.
Unzip the file with WinZip or WinRar and then double click on the EXE file to run it.
Reboot your system when the clean tool has finished. It will clean the registry and remove all Nero entries.
After that download and install the latest Nero 5 version from our webpage
http://www.nero.com/us/631933457317970.html
Please note: the Update to our latest Nero 5.5.x.x release is free of charge.
If you want to upgrade to Nero 6 you will have to purchase a new Nero 6 serial number at our online shop on our webpage.
Important: Your Nero 5.xx serial number will not work with Nero 6.

If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again


I will keep you posted on the results after I attempt the corrections.

 

Attn: Halo.....The problem still exists, here is the e-mail I sent to Nero:

Dear Nero Support:

Thank you for your response. I have followed your instructions below, however the removal tool download gave the error "Nero Clean Tool 1140 DLL error".

Without that tool, I then proceeded to manually uninstall the Ahead files out of the registry and rebooted the computer.

I then downloaded the latest Nero 5 version, 5.5.10.56 and it appeared to be successful. I then tested the download by attempting to back up my computer. First attempt failed, so I reduced my write speed to 8x and it still failed.

It failed with the following error messages: (appeared in the this order)

medium speed error
invalid write state
could not perform end track
session fixation error
could not perform fixation
session fixation error
could not perform fixation
burn process failed at 8x


Halo, any suggestions???????????????????????????????????????????

 

I tell you what. I have an Aopen burner sitting right next to me that did the same poop. It died a horrible death shortly afterwards. It simply ceased to function at all..

 

Well thanks for the reply guys, it is really stressing me out as I cannot make a backup. I even tried another software that was suggested in this post and it did not work.

So, I have e-mailed Nero with my reply and will await their answer. If nothing after that, the computer will go into the shop and I will have to buy another burner.

Funny, I purchased the burner only 2 years ago (found the invoice) and can't believe it would be wrecked already.

I will post to this thread if anything happens.

Appreciate both of your inputs.

 

Well the latest news is I have received a reply from Nero and they have asked me to save the log file which shows the errors:

Well the story continues. I will keep this post going until I solve the problem, or alas, buy a new CDRW.

 

i'm having some issues with this darn cd burner.... mind you all, i'm very computer illiterate.... anyways. i have sound files that i want on a CD (not songs) but everytime i go to move the file over into the burn box, it says
"the file format is not supported"

can someone explain or help or something????? do i need an update or, what do i do??

 

Hi, fairydust0340, and welcome to Major Geeks! It would be better if you started your own thread/post about your problem. This way you wouldn't be hijacking another persons thread, and the solutions given would be to your specific problem.

 

What motherboard do you have. I have the same problem and have learnt that it might be my motherboard.

 

Try making an ISO image and than burn that. That seems to get around my problem.
