Sony CD-writer gives session fixation error

Feb 24, 2005 7:07PM PST

Hi, I have a sony CD-RW, Nero burining software and Windows XP operating system. When ever I try to burn some data, the process gives "session fixation error" at the begining and stops burning. I tried uninstall and reinstall or Nero. Please help me. Arun.

Which version Nero?

Do you have version 6.0 of Nero? If so it will not work with XP and you will need to get the latest version, 6.6 I think.

I had the same problem - fixed with firmware upgrade
Mar 20, 2005 3:22AM PST

I could write DVD+R using Nero 6 reloaded but DVD-R writes were failing at the end (of simulation or real writes) on my Sony DRA-710A drive with:
"Illegal disk
Writing short lead-out
Session fixation error
Could not perform end of Disk-at-once
Simulation failed at 4X"

When I upgraded the DVD firmware from BY02 to vBYX3 (09 Mar 2005) the problem was resolved.

Hope that helps.
