er...
Seems that you are adding things twice.
Maybe you should first tell us what you are doing exactly and how you are performing it.
Are you doing an exact copy of an existing CD ?
Or are you creating a compilation from several mp3 or other music files stored on your hard disk ?

I am not adding them twice. I am taking an audio file from my hard drive and burning it to a cd. I open Nero and choose "make audio cd" and it then takes me to the place where it says "add". After I click on that it takes me to my HD and I click on the audio file that I want to copy. When it appears where it is ready to burn it shows double the amount like I said in my previous posts. I have since deleted Nero and downloaded the free trial version of Nero 7 and it works fine. After the trial period is over I will re-install my Nero Express 6 that came with the computer. It is obviously a problem with my Nero program. I knew it was all along but I just thought someone may have run into this before and knew how to fix it without having to delete the program.

My best advice on this..Dump NERO !!

Never liked this program its SOO bloated!!
Always my users are having problems with this crappy product ;(

I use Roxio Winon CD - a copy I got bundled 7 years ago with a Cd burner..when I got a DVD burner 2 years ago all I had to do was download a 400k file to make it work on DVD too..

I make LOTS of audio CDs with it..Only burner on the market I have used that allows me edit a .wav or an mp3 inside the burner..I.E. if I got carried away and carried on mixing after 80 mins I can chop the end off..fade it out..put an effect on it..all within the burning window..

For "other" files such as ISO etc I use Alcohol 100%

I have tried Nero myself but hey compared to Winoncd its too slow..too bloated..too many stupid disc errors for no reason...it used to be hard to burn right to the very end of a CD too..Winonccd allows you to do this.

Roxio??? Now THAT is a bloated piece of software. So is Nero 7. But if you use the latest version of Nero 6 (6.6.0.16), that's pretty hard to beat. Nero also uses overburning to burn past where the disc ususally can go up till. Even DVDs can be overburned with Nero if they're good quality. Personally, using branded cds, I haven't had more than 1 or 2 errors in a stack of 100, and generally that's because i was playing games while it was burning and the buffer got depleted.

i dunno, I like Nero, it's fast and convenient.

If you are uncomfortable with bloatware, just dump your Windows, easy as that

2. Computer Ups & Voltage Regulator Problems

   I can't get it to work (3)

   I have a 2.8 Dual core machine with a 17 inch monitor, 2 hard drives, a dvd burner, and a 350w power
   supply. I have an 800w rated UPS, which according to the paper is supposed to give me around 8
   minutes of power during a blackout. This is more of an issue than for most people, as here we have
   an average of 8 power cuts a day during the 8 or 9 months of summer weather. The problem is that my
   UPS doesn't really help any, because in a power cut it will go off as well for a second, and
   then it comes back to life, but in that second my computer has gone off, and even tho....

3. Screensaver Problems

   It wont start (11)

   Hi I just re installed windows on my computer (I know i can hear people saying "Why Windows", but i
   need it to run certain programs) and i have encountered a problem with my screensaver. I have it
   set to load the "My Pictures" screensaver after 3 minutes. But after 3 minutes the screen saver wont
   appear!! I have also set my monitor to turn off (standby) after 5 minutes. The only thing that i
   find strange is that when i have locked the computer (e.g switch user) and it is sitting on the
   login screen, the monitor will go into standby after 5 minutes, but before that no sc....

   Question about web browsers and taskbar (7)

   First off, I would like to say thanks for taking the time to read my thread... Er then I won't
   have a second or any others, I will just get to my questions. Okay, so I recently noticed that my
   web browser windows when I minimized them to the task bar just disappeared. They seemingly minimzed
   to a spot that I couldn't see to the down and right of the start button. I know how to get
   around this in a couple of ways if I have to... But I was just curious to see if anyone knew how to
   fix it a better way? My "solutions" to fix it are: 1) If I hit ALT+TAB at the s....

   my computer, almost nothing worked. Flash drives wouldn't recognize, the sound card in device
   manager was supposedly working properly, but if i tried to play anything it would tell me there was
   no sound card installed. The system slowed to a crawl, my virus scan, firewall, and pgp wouldn't

   I have had to sign up for dial up again due to my new place of residence not having broadband as

   stuff from). Anyway the problem I have at the moment is that my machine keeps shutting down when I
   am online. Sometimes it happens often maybe after being on for about 3-5 mins and other times it
   takes a while. Could this be a heat issue? I took out my sound card just now as was not sure if it
   was too much power being drawn from the mb and that seemed to help for a while. ....
