1.)Windows Xp Pro service pack 2
2.)Unknown. Whatever the windows xp bundled. It says in the error message that the software is supplied by Roxio but gives no details as to what vesion.
3.) I do have nero as well which works fine.
I agree it seems to be software related as everything works except the write function with the windows xp software. I just don't know how to reinstall,upgade, or fix it.
thanks for your time!
