You state that Nero 7 was okay, I unfortunatley have had issues with it.
Which version are you using, I am using NERO 7 Ultimate, Front end loads but
when you actually try and burn disc it bombs. Tried my dads Roxio Easy CD 8
Suite and that works really well.

Games that I have tested.
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Steam Release) - Works fine.
Guild Wars - (Works fine although little jumpy, Could be ping issue)
Battlefield 2142 Demo - No issues.
FEAR Extraction point - No issues.
