I found some problems due to that. when I try to write a cd or dvd my burning software, just before the recording starts, nero says: "HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\WinLogon\\AllocateCDROMs : 0 (Security Option)" and ends with:"Burn process failed with status 3" and "Setting 'ELL' as Nero File Dialog language"
