Nero and my new Sony CD Burner problem

I just installed a new CD Burner, a Sony CRX230E. Nero's Information
Tool says it is there and all of the checkboxes that are checked seem to
be right. Yet, when I try to use the Recorder/Choose Recorder item on
the menu bar of Nero Burning Rom, it only shows Image Recorder and
doesn't show the Sony. I don't remember ever seeing that as a choice
before I installed the Sony. When I had my old HP 7200 installed it
showed there. (I did uninstall it using Device Manager before I removed
it from the case.) I've looked for newer driver than the MS supplied
one but can't seem to find one. The box for the Sony says it is ready
for XP.

The recorder records correctly using the Sony supplied burning program
so I am reasonably certain it is OK.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get the Sony to show up
under Recorder/Choose Recorder so I can use it with Nero?


Thank you.
 
Check for updates to Nero. It could be that Nero has not got the info
needed to record with your Sony drive yet.

Yes, of course you are correct. I neglected to mention that I have
disabled XP's burning software and unistalled the Sony.

Thank you for pointing out the ommisson.
 
Not true! I have Nero, Roxio EZ CD 6 and CDCLone. All seem to be working
correctly.

Thank you.

I have the latest update to Nero 5.5. It is now 5.5.10.7. I hope I
don't have to move up to version 6 because funds are short this close to
Christmas. :) I just e-mailed Nero support for suggestions.
 
Also, was your Nero bundled with another drive???? If yes, then you will
need to purchase Nero as a retail product. Bundled Nero software is OEm and
locked to the original drive manufacturer's line of CD burners. There is
some type of "code" which prevents Nero from working with other drives.

Nero is up to 5.5.10.54 and climbing.....

Just update the NERO software.

: No. It is a boxed version ordered directly from Ahead.

Thank you very much, Frank. I missed that route while looking for
updates. It is downloading now.
 
OK! 5.5.10.54 is installed along with its help files and all is well
with the Sony now.
Thanks for all you patient help.
