I've got Nero 7, and I'm trying to back up some files on my desktop (I work with a lot of files that tend to collect and take a lot of space, I usually need to back up about 10gb of stuff a week onto DVD+R). As of late, nero express has been freezing up on me. It gets somewhere between 7-12%, and I can't tell if it's Nero, if it's my drive, if it might be some bad ram, or if it's the result of a little bit of malware I can't get out of my system(I have another thread going where I've requested assistance on that, but have yet to receive any... Vundo is a pain in the arse!) Has anyone encountered this error? I can still operate the machine, etc; but it never passes a certain point, the 'time remaining' eventually reaches 0:00:00 and just sits there, and if I hit 'Stop' the computer dies and has to be restarted altogether.
Copy the files with Imgburn and see if the problem still exists - that way Nero is out of the picture. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/imgburn.cfm
