PMA Update failure....?????????

[dannyk]

Been using Nero 6 for a while now to back up some of my films with Datawrite & Verbatim DVD's. However, now every time i try i always get the error message - "Program Memory Area Update failure". I read a few forums & the general suggestion was to revert back to an earlier version so i wnet back to 5.5. First DVD i did - no problem. Second one, however the same message - "Program Memory Area Update failure". This is very frustrating as it's been working fine till now - anyone any ideas....????????
