First, please quit yelling... turn your caps lock key off.

I'd upgrade that Nero to v5.5. Get it here (http://www.nero.com/en/download.htm).

Nero also has a page for a CD-RW benchmarking product called CD Speed 2000 (http://www.cdspeed2000.com/)where they claim they have burned a 100-minute CD.

You will probably at least need to update the Firmware for the drive as well to recognise the 90Min format.

The link I posted to the Nero page has a link to get firmware upgrades for most CD-RW's, but at this time they are not showing one for the Creative 121032.

Let us know it you were able to do it.

Be advised that some hardware will not read 90min CD's. Some hardware may even be permanently damaged. 80min CD's are OK though.

Roxio does not recommend using 90 min CD's (http://www.roxio.com/en/support/discs/disccompat.html) for this reason so it's not surprising that EasyCD doesn't either.

Very few CD drives can handle disks with that much data. You risk having the drive attempting to overtrack beyond it's limits which can damage the drive. Not a good thing to do to your $2000 car stereo system....

Easy CD Creator specifically disallows overburning that much, and I think Nero can do it, but throws up lots of warning messages if you try.
