Guess if I ever succeed I'll make u one with them tracks on too! been trying to make my drama teacher Paul a fiddle cd too and no luck - my cd burner just wrecks about 5 cds every time (im not kidding - i have wasted SOOO many cds recently ! ) I try to make one! It's a roxio burner - anyone else have this prob?? The test goes fine but when burning it like to come up with new problems and the CDs are then ruined! Never used to have any problems with roxio but just did another comp scan and no results for viruses either! / The roxio burner on my windows media player won't load tho.. hmm... Help!! Very dodgy Love, St*rbuck xXx PS. EVeryone coming tomorrow night? x

Raglan Road (acoustic). Ohhhh I need that Prodigy song G Woman. ;D Good stuff about Christy M! How much RAM do you have do you know, (check your system properties). If I know your CD burning habbits correctly then I'm guessing you're making the CDs whilst you're online, doing a load of other things on the comp. My old PC downstairs had this problem if you'd a million things open it fucked up the burn process. So, setup what you want to burn, leave it with nothing else on, no background stuff running, go off and make some tea, watch tv whatever. Other than that, check the drivers are compatible...not sure what else ze burner could be kaput. I'd stay WELL clear of Windows Media Player for any sort of burning, if it's anything like general Windows there'll be conflict issues. Try cleaning the lense too. There's CDs you can get for that, probably less than a fiver.

The Prodigy - Breathe PLAYYY MYY GAMEEEEEE "WHO'S THE FUCKING PSYCHO NOWWWW?!!!" hehe Xcuse the language i'm allowed to quote Mmm the thing is, I've tried the going away and leaving it with just the cd (I know you don't believe me but ATM im just uploading cds onto my com while im' online LOL! i've given up on the copying earlier today! ) and it just seems to be temperamental! thing is, there's no way to know which time it's actually going to work! 256.0 MB of RAM in my "my computer" bit Does that mean anything to you? Ooh got the lense cleaner though, might give that a shot!! Thanks for the tips! Once I've figured it there'll be a prodigy themed Xfools CD, live from Glastonbury, on it's way to you soon LOL!!!!! Love, St*rbuck:)xXx

Silverchair - Tomorrow. I presume the main stuff you're doing is music CDs as opposed to data? Are you doing straight copies of albums or a mix of mp3 onto a CD or both? 256 RAM is healthy enough though the more resources you've running the more it uses. What software do you use for the burning, ROXIO or WMP? Looking forward to the CD.

[shadow=black,left,900]Jen try uninsatling and re-installing the softwear, that helps a little to a lot for me when my burner makes bad or failed CD's. I'd also suggest trying to slow the speed of the burn if your softwear has an option for this, I burn mine no faster than x8 now. Log off everything else while you're burning, I do always, cos otherwise it probbaly fails once every other time If none of that works it could be a bad batch of CD's? Perhaps an updated driver would help? Not an expert (ask Rich about my non expert status! LOL), but would guess that would be worth a shot. I'm back by the way - still got a bunch of stuff to load back on, but most things are working now... except every glowy post here is now showing up red and that sucks cos everyones posts look the same, even mine I miss my black glow, and am trully sick of red glow! Don't know why it's happening (anyone suggest anything?), coloured fonts work ok and so does this shadow tool, but glow - always red. Maybe Wiggy's right, the whole of the UK is supporting the reds in their quest for Champions Legue glory right about now ;D Playing right now: Just A Phase - Incubus[/shadow]

Yeah, driver updates, un/reinstalling software and burn speed are other issues that could be looked at. You'll get the latest drivers online, get the one specific to your burner model and compatible with your operating system.
Re: CDs as Folie said, possibly a bad batch. Are they a big cheap spindle of 50, had some problems with those myself. Even branded ones can be crappy though.

[glow=green,2,300]I just got eels and Weezer's (well I downloaded that one because it isn't out yet) new records so have been listening to those two. Favourite tracks...Weezer - Perfect Situation/eels - Things the grandchildren should know Jenny don't listen to Barry, there's nothing wrong with Windows Media player for burning Well okay you can only add a few extensions and there's always a gap between each track......BUT Nero is the best yeah, I'd just reinstall the software and clean the lens like you're doing Oh and ASSY yeah I think I will be rooting for Liverpool ...Chelsea just annoy the sheet out of me! [/glow]

LOL Bundle of 50? How did you know! Tell you what though I've given them to other people in exchange for cds and they've had NO problem burning them - pretty good quality, i swear its the burner! have used other batches which were dodgy (*ahem* scratchy cornwall cds spring to mind! ) but I'm not blaming these cds! I've tried seperate ones I've bought too:) Thanks ass, I've tried burning slower (i do 12x, how did you guess LOL ) but it usually makes it even unlikelier to work! Definitely going to try the lense cleaner and reinstalling it! Keks suggested updating the driver too.. LOL someone's got their computer in speedo mode! Or is that Scully hair color? ;D Hmm.. tried having a look at your internet settings? Not sure quite where to find it but I know there's somewhere you can change your settings for font (size is in favourites on my com cos that randomly changed the other day! can't find font and color atm...)! Good luck! Love, JM xXx PS. Oh yeah listening to the chem bros 'the big jump'

Very dodgy Love, St*rbuck xXx PS. EVeryone coming tomorrow night? x What model is your writer Jenny? and what Windows version are you running? Best advice is to try Try updating the drivers. It fixed Ass' DVD ;D Recommend using Nero for copying/creating disks, :Dnever tried Media Player, but know someone else who does and he's always having problems too . Can send you a copy of Nero if you don't have it, just let me know ;D. Recording audio requires a faster data transfer rate than just data recording, even if you can record at a faster speed writing data you may have to reduce the speed for music/audio. Saying that though when recording at slower speeds 4x even 8x on most systems, you should be able to multitask while burning a disk with no problems. Does your writer have buffer underun protection? Also try turning off the power management features in your BIOS (if they are enabled) and in Windows, especially if they are attempting to shut down hard disks and CD-ROM drives. Also any screensavers or programs running in the background. ;D Another problem could be your hard drive is fragmented. Try using the Disk Fragmenter in Windows (Programs-accessories-system tools) Windows XP will tell you if it needs doing or not (not sure about other versions) Good idea if you haven't run it for a while anyway will make a lot of difference to the speed of your computer and will help with the transfer rate when copying CD's no end. ;D Failing that Try a different brand of disc, Does make a difference. Not that I use them much but I find this with DVD's especially. Probably fixable if I downloaded the latest firmware and updated it, but haven't been brave enough to try it yet (can totally wreak your drive if you get it wrong ) Certain brands of DVDr wont work at all in my writer. Once you find a brand that works stick with it. Never had any brand compatibly problems with CDr though. Good luck

No idea why you can't get the glow, although if it's any consolation I can't get it either, so might be the board itself. Will have a look later, got to go and get some tea now <hungry> ;D To stay on topic, I'm listening to Jenny's Glasto CD she sent me yesterday ;D

YAY! Peatbog faeries & patty Griffin! Thanks for all the tips, will try them all now and let you know how I get on! I've got Roxio Easy CD creator 5:) I've always used roxio so I don't know why it's messing up now. Used to use Windows Media Player (which is also a roxio burner btw) and never had any problems until my com got wiped and now if I click "copy cd" it won't even load! Used to use nero but my com couldn't handle it - I'm on Windows ME Might give it another shot if reinstalling roxio or updating it doesn't do the trick Have never had perfect cds! My favourite ones were my first ones but they fell apart with time LOL! Your glasto cd's working allright isn't it Rich? See, thats the one LOL! It's funny cos it took my about 5 wrecked cds to get one that worked for that playlist and then i could make a whole batch of them in a go but suddenly it'd just crash one! It's so random I swear! Tata for now, BOGEYS lol ahhh classic Love and thanks, JM:)xXx Chemical Brothers still - Shake Break Bounce, tempted to put it back to Close Your Eyes!
