I just rebooted and then I realised the system was also running Daemon Tools
quitly in the background... kinda weird really...it doesn't even show up in
the task list... maybe it's just a driver etc... maybe atapi.sys is the
deamon tool... or maybe it's being used by deamon tool...
Anyway... I ll have to shutdown that stuff and retry
So I no longer think it's related to nero
