Hi David. It seems Ahead have changed their support pages and the closest you'll get to the help tool as was is at http://www.ahead.de/en/632181889268729.html#9 That said, it seems they're happy to take log files attached to e-mails to the support desk so that may be the best course of action for persistent problems when burning.
The DMA setting is not a Nero specific setting. If you go to control panel, then system, then device manager, you should be able to locate your rewriter in the list of devices. When selected, tab to the properties button and press enter. The enable DMA setting can be found on one of the resulting tabs. As mentioned in a previous post, Windows will warn you if you change this as some hardware devices, particularly older ones, will not work if DMA is enabled. As regards the jitter and ignore read errors controls, these can be found on the Nero read options tab but you can only get to this if you dismiss the wizard and go through the resulting detailed screens.
