my computer is really old (it's a 1997 model from gateway... costed $2000 when it came out) and i have a CD burner on it that my uncle installed- i forget what speeed it can burn at... i think it's 18x but i'm not sure. anyway... it doesn't work because every time i try to make a CD on it (I use EZ CD Creator 4)it goes on for about 1 or 2 tracks, then it stops and says "ERROR- BUFFER OVERFLOW" and it stops. it does this with all files- .doc, .bmp, .mp3, you name it. it doesn't work. any way to fix it?
what windows are you using? also could try newer burner software like nero tho i use roxio 5 platnium on win98se.
i'm running 2000 pro with EZ CD Creator 4 (no update) and my CD burner is a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive. I looked at it o hte inside and I found that one of the plugs was unplugged, but it has nowhere to go... meh.
i do't think it's the software, i think it's teh burner... meh. i'll get my uncle to look at it later. any other ideas?
try the burner on another computer but most likely is the software that is causing the problem. i have the adaptec/roxio 5 platnium which is the upgrade on your 4 & it prevents buffer underruns if it is enabled.
i think that's the problem, but my computer got fried by static when i took it apart (what a dumbass i am, didn't wear gloves) so my uncle is fixing it now.
