BenQ dvd writer problem

I just bought a BenQ dvd writer 1640 and hav run into some strange problem...

The Nero suite that came along with the drive didn't give me the option to burn a dvd at all, although my win2000 computer can read the drive and dvds can be accessed...so why did Nero not allow me to burn dvds? any ideas will be much appreciated! ( i couldn't identify the drive with Nero either)

thanks a million...

Re: BenQ dvd writer problem

Is the drive recognized in bios and windows, and do you get some error message in
Nero? Do you had a look in the device manager? Also i'd upgrade to the latest
version.

Like i said try the latest version, if the reinstall doesn't help, just let us know, sometimes
it could be a driver problem.
