Im not trying to burn the game, i'm trying to burn a dvd. The point is I can't burn any dvd's or cd's now. Which is very very frustrating.
Have you tried burning a CD or DVD with any programs other than Nero? I know my laptop came with a couple of different programs capable of burning CDs/DVDs when I bought it. If you haven't tried that yet, you might want to, since it's a possibility that it's just Nero.
Also, go into C:/Documents and Settings/(insert user name here)/Application Data and make sure there isn't a Securom file there. (You're going to need to have "show hidden files and folders" enabled under folder options if you don't already). If there is, it might explain why your burner isn't working correctly.

Nero is the only burning software I have. Just seems odd I never has this problem before I installed FT. I went to the directory and there is no Securom folder, but when I was trying to remove it following these instructions, I kept getting "invalid blah blah" or this file does not exist when entering commands in the CMD. There was one specific file that could not be unregistered/deleted no matter how many times I tried (the long one without classes at the end). I have contacted Nero support, hopefully they will be of some help.

Have you tried burning using Windows? Windows can burn CDs without any 3rd party software by default. Try that.

Sariah, been there, :) done that.
I had to re-install Nero which meant I also had to first remove Nero, which turned into a huge task because it would not remove--had to do it manually. I learned a lot about my registry that time.
So try that, remove Nero, and hopefully you won't have to do it manually like I did, then reinstall it.
I am still pissed off at EA for putting that crap on my pc unannounced and then for their very bad response on it. I will never buy another product of theirs, not that I want the crap anyway. But I do want to finish out the Sims2 Eps which means I wil ARR it. The money they lose to me I will consider repayment for my drive and labor. :)
