Buffer Under Run - Illegal Request Errors

[randers44]

I recently installed two Sony drives (DVD ROM/DR R/W & DVD R/W) and can't get them to work with EMC10. Every time I try to burn I get "Buffer under run - Illegal Request" error and the burn fails. This happens regardless of brand or type of media used, and on both drives.

 

The drives came bundled with Nero Essentials, and they work fine with that; no errors. Just can't get EMC10 to work. Running Vista (32-bit); drive models are CRX320EE and DRU-840A.

 

Any ideas?

I have the Sony CRX320, and I have no problem burning CD's with it. It only READS DVD'S. I hope that you know that. Do you have the latest firmware update for it? The last firmware update is NYK5, and it came out in 2004, I believe.

 

Do both of those drives show up in Device Manager, without exclamation marks by them? You can try the PX engine to see if that clears it up. You can get it from the following link:

Don't know if it will fix it, try # 5 in my signature. It won't hurt your PC or make you go blind... Do let us know the result!

Thanks for the suggestions but I've already tried the "pxengine" fix. My burners are fine in device manager (no exclaimation points) and they work fine with Nero; just fail with EMC10.

 

Any other ideas?

That is what the pxengine is for, getting the drives to work in EMC 10!

Yes, but the "update" is a much earlier version of the PX engine than is used in EMC 10, or EMC 9 for that matter.

 

It's only 3.00.58 , whereas EMC9 uses 3.00.88a and upwards, and EMC10.0 uses 4.2.58a and 60a.

No games. It was there from the beginning.

A search of the Roxio Knowledgebase for pxengine only list these two when I

search it!

Who was referring to Neil's post? That is a older version of the pxengine1_08_34a.exe.

 

Not upwards as Brendon posted!

I fixed Neil's post.

 

Yes cd, the KnowledgeBase is a bit out-of-date again or else they're not allowing us to have updated updaters.
