while nero is a quality cdrw package... i am running "steinberg instant cd/dvd" and "instant backup" on my machines. 1 = win 98se 1 = win2K neither of which have problems i can attribute to the cdrw s'ware.
direct cd has caused problems that you would not believe on every system that i've seen it on.
