InCD stopped working

OK, story so far.
All was well with my CD writer until last week, now my packet-writing gizmo
(InCD) has stopped working.

If I try to format a clean disc with InCD, after a while it reports..
"Error writing the disc in e:\. Please confirm that the disc is compatible
with th drive and is not scratched or damaged."

I visited the Nero website, updated all software to the latest versions and
carried out all the advice on their FAQ page.
I also updated the firmware of my CD writer, but nothing has worked.

Nero CD creation works fine, so I'm sure this is a driver issue, but I've
exhausted everything I can think of. Can anyone help, please?

Phil.

Win XP Pro SP1

Nero v6.1.3.6
IcCD v4.1.5.10

Plextor PlexWriter PX-W1610TA
Firmware 1.05
Driver v5.1.2535.0

If you're by any chance using Memorex (aka Infodisc) CD-RWs, you may,
as I have, gotten a series of lemon discs. They may even go bad just
sitting in storage (my wild theory there).

I don't know that InCD's ability to format discs can itself "go bad,"
but formatting seems to be an error-sensitive stage of creating a
packet-writable CD-RW. I would try a different brand before assuming a
software problem.

Out of curiosity, what is your brand of CD-RW, and what does the "Nero
InfoTool" tell you about the root manufacturer?

Thanks for helping.

Well, back to square one :-(
First time I dragged a file to the drive (4.5 Mb) all worked OK. Second
time (63Mb), my system crashed (First EVER bluescreen I've had with XP in
over 2 years).
Now I'm getting the same error message and behaviour as before.

Also, 'KCK' found InCD 3.52.40 is stable. Try that?
