I tried to repair but that didn't work. I removed roxio and re-installed it.. that didn't work either. I reinstalled my video drivers. I even changed to software mode in the options. I'm not sure what to do next.

Exactly how did you reinstall them, and are they the drivers from Nvidia's site?

Go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Roxio. After you click you will have the option to Repair.

 

Give that a try.

Yes the driver is from the nvidia site: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 163.71

I was able to finally burn my movie. Took a few uninstalls and re-installs.

 

The following instructions did the trick for the uninstall:

List your system specs, similar to how I have mine listed in my signature.

And did you follow their instructions for installing it:

Uninstall current one thru add/remove programs, reboot so the default windows ones are being used, then install the Nvidia driver (with anitvirus, Windows defender and One Care software turned off).

 

If you do it correctly, the next time you open MyDVD or Videowave you should see amessage that they need to evaluate your video card. If you don't see the message, then the video drivers did not uninstall/install correctly.

I am glad that the clean install worked for you. It doesn't always work, but most of the time, it will.

Still no luck.. are there any log files that may tell me what is happening?
