Raiden Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I had the same problem with my 2003 box. I wonder if it's a hardware specific problem. My box is an Intel P3-450 on an Intel SE440BX-2 Mainboard and the burner is an LG 52x32x52. Is any of this hardware similar to yoursAlso when my 2003 trial ended, I brought the same box back online as a 2000 Server and can burn cd's with no problems.

Xspectrum Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 If you have enable the Sound Acceleration and don't work maybe is because the IMAPI CD-burning COM service needs to be enabled. To enable it:1>click Start, then Run, and type "services.msc" (without quotes) and clickOK2>Find the "IMAPI CD-burning COM" service (without quotes), Right Click and select Properties,Select "Automatic" instead of "Disabled" (without quotes) in the startuptype box3>Click Apply.4>Click Start5>Click OK.

renzki Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 msfn guide ses that i disable imapi service when using nero. also ive already enabled/disabled services that msfn suggested but to no avail. the first time i installed win2003, the burner was able to initiate burning using nero but later it just stays on the 2% finished. the burner led just keeps on blinking. this is really giving me a headache! but looking on the bright side, win2003 works very fast.
