    Hi all,

    I've had Nero 6 for a long time without any problems. Yesterday when I tried burning a data dvd it suddenly gave me a "administrator must give you burn rights" message. I'm on the only account on this pc and it has admin rights. I tried the burn rights executable, didn't work. I tried uninstalling Nero and reinstalling, that didn't work. I uninstalled again, tried other burn software like Cheetah and freeware, but they all failed to recognize my Lite-On as a burner. I checked in the device manager and while the burner name is correct, it shows no recording tab in properties. I surfed the web and saw some advice on deleting upper and lower filters in the registry, but in the key described, there were none present to delete. I downloaded devfilter.exe and it showed redbook as upper and imapi as lower filter, but I quite frankly didn't know what to do with the information. >_< I've searched for hours on end now to find a solution, but nothing seems to work. I burned some dvds a couple weeks back with no hitches whatsoever and I really couldn't say what could have caused this problem.

    Anyone here who can try to help me fix it? I'm at my wits end. :(
    Thanks in advance for any rescue attempts. :)
