Ss 3.0 And Sony Laptop - Nero Crashes

[1kyle]

Installed SS 3.0 on a Sony Vaio laptop. -- Looked fine, nice GUI etc etc.

Functions all worked fine and sound seemed crisp and clean --even on LP2 .

Now try and use NERO for normal DVD burning (Data not Music). SS closed properly etc and Minidisc recorder unplugged.

Keep getting message from NERO --- Abort Write Power Calibration Error ???????

Tried on SEVERAL DVD's --no joy same error each time.

Anyway uninstalled SS 3.0, re-installed SS 2.3 and everything is fine again.

DVD re-writer in the laptop is a Pioneer DVR-12D.

God only knows what SS 3.0 is trying to do to the hardware --Power Calibration Error ??? hope it's not some undocumented Spyware or DRM they've added to this program.

Grrrrhhhhhhhhh

BTW using Nero 6.6.0.8 and Windows XP with service pack 2 applied.

Cheers

3.0 seems to grab the DVD-drive to detect when an audio CD is inserted.

That could be switched off in 'Tools' --> 'Options'

[dex Otaku]

SS 3.0 uses a rather annoying helper service for CD access.

Go to Start -> Run

and enter "services.msc"

then STOP the service titled "SonicStage SCSI Service"

and try burning again.

As this may be an ongoing issue, please do let us know if this fixes the problem for you or not.

first, pls use rw to try again

no more -r or +r(don't waste it)

try to unplug ur Hi-MD and reboot

after reboot don't ever use SS

try write a few small files(x0 m maybe) to the dvd-/+rw and finalize it

see if the problem remain

there is one more question : did u get the same error message "ever" before when u use the same media(disc)?

Are you saying all users should do this? or just if you are having that problem?

[dex Otaku]

I am saying that this might solve the problem, but I don't know as I haven't checked myself, yet.

Please note that the service in question is marked as "manual" for starting, though it appears to be running after a reboot on my machine, despite no other Sony software running on boot.

As long as you're not trying to burn CDs in SS, closing it shouldn't have any ill effect. Still - no, I'm not saying everyone should do this.

guess the problem the user have is only media problem(and hope he is)

The first thing I did after installing SS 3.0 is to return all of the settings to the way I had them on 2.3. That included telling SS to do nothing when a disc was inserted. I have a Sony DVD RW drive in my laptop, and had no issue burning a DVD using my usual burner software after the SS 3.0 install. Hope your problem is fixed.
