Bingo.

I remember paying $400+ for a 2x when then came out. Then I returned it to Costco for a 32x and enough cash left over for a nice printer. :)

I use Nero for ISO's no prob. Although mounting an ISO is a better way, especially for games and ----.

^ werd, way way back I remember buying a 4x... went for the big guns son. I thought that ---- was FAST! ---- cost and arm anda leg too, but it paid itself off after time ;)

A program I liked to use before was cdrwin, it worked great for me, but now I use nero, only because I have it readily available with the serial code. cdrwin, I'd have to do the huntin' all over again.

oh yeah and a new burner wouldn't hurt. I just picked up a 4x dual layer dvd burner ;D

NOTE: If you decide to do this, there is one step where it says to Run 'CMD', actually run 'COMMAND'.

or tell ur local computer shop to give you a copy of WinXP with SP2. I tried that ---- off tomshardware but i had problmes when i was doing it and its easier to get a real copy since MS is producing WinXp with SP2 already integrated.

i never had a problem, worked fine for me.

if u bought winxp w/ sp1 i doubt they will GIVE you a winxp w/sp2 cd.

open up you drive. linspect it carefully wuhere the lens move sup and down its track with a screw. something is wrong that the lens gets stuck.

in windows i alwase used to use nero. but then i found another program. let me think of the name....
[me=kain]thinks...[/me]
oo ok.

stomp record now max 5.

i dont know if yall have used it, but its a bunch better thanb nero. sometimes nero will also freeze, and youy would have to sut and wait for like 10 minutes for it to start again, rememmber, if it doesnt stup by istself, dont stop it. nero is buggy, and sometimes it fucks up, but i found out that 100% of the time, it burns correctly, and if it stays idle at a certain percentage, then let it sit.

you have a light on burner like me, i dont know about you, but besides plextore and all the other shitty ones, lite on is one of the best.

so get stomp recorde now max, and try using that. if nothing happens... then... get a new lite on drive. see if that works. if nothing works, take your computer apart completely, and reconnect everything.

i don't think it's a matter of the lens getting stuck. fook and i have the exact same problem. both using nero. both having used it many a time in the past without problems. now all of a sudden it doesn't work. i'll bet if he has media player10 and went to burn a cd, it'd work just fine. as mine does. it's not the hardware. that's all i can say.
