Everything was working great until
Installed a USB2 card and an Epson Stylus Photo 825 printer with a built in card reader. Now my Nero software crashes to a BSOD with a Windows Protection ErrorComputer has been halted. This happens during any lengthy simulation or burn attempt with various media and various burn speeds. Drive works fine with Ulead Picture Show. After much trial and error and many re-installs of everything I could think of, I finally tried removing the USB ports in the Device Manager and then everything works fine. Then they re-install after a re-boot and the problems come back. Tried other CD software (BurnAtOne, Burn4Free, and DeepBurner) and none of them would even find my CD Drives despite the drives showing up in the Device Manager and in Explorer. Tried ForceASPI 4.6. Previous Printer ran off the parallel port. The card reader on the printer shows up as an extra drive in Explorer and in Device Manager. The only thing I can figure is that its some kind of conflict between the USB and the CD drives even thought the CD drives are both IDE. Any suggestions are most welcomethis thing has cost me about 3hrs a night for the last 4-5 nights.
