I have just reloaded Windows XP Home, into a friends pc.
We loaded Nero 6.0. (after a few attempts)
when we tried to burn a disc "Another application is using this device" error came up.
i went to task manager and closed all the programs running in the back ground. same error.
I even removed the items from start up using MSCONFIG.
Re-started the PC and tried again.
Same error.
Anyone know where I might be going wrong.
It is a TIME PC and the windows XP is the one that came with the PC.

Cheers & Beers in advance.

disable the windows burning engine in the services. IMAPI

Hi Nutnapper.
where would I find "SERVICES" to disable it

Hi Is Services in (control panel/administrative tools)??
If so I've found it.

yea thats it, set it to manual or disabled

Hi Nutnapper.


PMSL!!!!!! :laugh:

I appologise for the spelling mistake I am working 6-2 and had been awake for 20 hours. NUTTAPPER

I asked my mate to try that,
He found "Services" but couldn't find "Windows Burning Engine" in the list
I've looked on mine but can't find it either.
Mind you, I'm using Windows XP Beta

Any other ideas?

(Tis better to be at the right hand of the devil
than in his path).

Just got a phone call off me mate.
He was only looking at the service status.
I told him to right click and select properties, and select disable.
IT WORKED.
He also disabled it in the hardware profile.

Cheers Nuttapper for your help and Insomniac for lurking in the background.LOL
