Nero - Error device in use ??

[steptoe]

Hmmm,

Strange Nero error now appears when I try to burn any CD/DVD

Everything runs perfectly, until I try to burn anything using Nero, then it complains the device is in use by something else, and stops the burn process before it has had a chance to start

Reinstalled CD/DVD drivers, as they disappered from my system, BUT, I can use other burning software (CDRWin/CopyToDVD/TMPGenc DVD Author, etc, etc)

Just Nero moans about the device in use

I have a CD writer and a DVD writer, both still function with the other software, nothing on the Nero FAQ aboyt this, so I assume its a nero problem .... again


Any suggestions will be appreciated

I had this problem for a while but cant quite remeber exactly what I did to cure it. I think it has something to do with stopping Windows Media Player from running. The error was "Imapi engine in use by another program" or something like that. I think there is a guide on Neros web site in the FAQs for stopping WMP from running. Sorry cant be of more help but it was quite a while ago I got this error.

Go into your task manager and turn off the "imapi.exe." Nero should run fine after turning this process off.

Do the Nero updates had the same problem with Nero 6 after installing it i could not burn anything with nero but other software would still work. So i downloaded the upadtes from the web sites and everything is fine :P

Hi,

I tend to run into a similar problem if I insert a CD-RW into the drive before starting up Nero Burning Rom. This rewritable then gets picked up by Nero InCD, and I firs have to eject the CD before being able to start Neron Burning Rom.
