The AMD64 version of Windows XP Pro I tried from Microsoft was a 365 day trial, however I couldn't get drivers for all my supported hardware so in the end I went back to standard Windows XP Pro SP1a 32-Bit.

Im currently trying to get my Windows XP 64bit to work.

I have managed to find drivers for most, if not all, of my hardware and thought great now i can get started on getting all my programs to work :rolleyes:

The first thing i installed was Nero 6.0.0.3, it installed without problems but when i went in to burn a CD, i did not have the option to choose my burner(Liteon 832S) as the thing i would be writing the CD with. It seem that it just doesnt recognice it as a burner :)

I tried to install Alcohol 120% 1.9.2.1705, but it seems that it wont even install. I think its somthing to do with the bus drivers but i just dont know enough about the area to work it out.

Any idea on how to fix either of these problems?

Have you tried the latest version of Nero?

If I recall correctly I had a few problems with my Panasonic DVD burner until I updated to the latest version.

I must admit, I did enjoy using the 64-Bit XP, but I just wish the driver support was better, but I guess I couldn't expect much for something that had just been released on Beta.

At least it worked better than Fedora Core Test 1 for AMD64 on my PC.

Mmmm, ok...i just went and downloaded the newest verion of Nero and installed it. When it starts up it says that i need to install BurnRights, so i went back to the Nero site and downloaded BurnRights. Installing it has had no effect that i can see, it still asks for me to install it when i start up Nero.

Ithink it must be XP 64 not allowing Nero or any other CD/DVD burning programs access my burner. Thanks for the advice anyway Rob.
