having trouble burning a cd,downloaded an album from interweb and went through normal routine,when i try to burn it message comes up"only admin can use nero express".
ive tried shifting it to different locations but no joy,any ideas?

Nero site has a utility which you can download & run that is supposed to fix this --- it never worked for me. best way round it is to burn the cd as user with administrator privileges, then reset to normal user immediately after burning.

These days I use a freeware toll "Imageburn " but depends what format from your CD image is in.

http://www.imgburn.com/

"ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI."

Right click on the icon and select "Run as" then select the administrator from the picklist.

What happened when you used the "Run As" right click menu to run as administrator?
