Greetings--

This may not address all of your issues, but could
serve as a starting point. While using Nero on one
of my client's computers, I noticed that one of the
check boxes in one of the 'preferences' areas said
'Shut down after burning', or words to that effect.
You may want to check your burning software preferences
to see if such a setting is enabled.

HTH,

Paul A. Shippert
