Maybe the disks you have are not designed to burn at the speed your burner needs.  If you have a disk rated to 8X, but your burner needs 12X, it will have a problem unless you manually set it to record slower.  Nero is now up to version 5.5.9.0. the upgrade is free if you have a paid for version. Have you checked the memorex driver site for your burner for firmware and software updates?  Do you have Roxio Easy CD Creator or as it used to be known, Symantec Easy CD Creator installed also?Easy CD is not compatible with any other burner software and should be uninstalled.  If all else fails, go to device manager and delete the burner. On restart Windows will reinstall it.  You can uninstall all the burner related software and reinstall new versions, if any.  You should download Nero 5.5.9.0 which will install right over your paid for version aand update it.
