recently when i playback an audio cd that i just have burned it skips at the same points each time. i have tried to burn at slower speeds and it does not work. i have been using the same brand of cds successfully for awhile now but for the past month i have experienced this problem. i also bought a cd LENS cleaner and that did not work either. what could my problem be?
Your problem may lie with your CPU/HDD usage. Try closing all unneeded processes and programs before you write to CD.
i have tried to close as much as possible, but the problem still remains...although a few days ago my hard drive ran out of space...i cleared up about 8GB...is that not enough?
Are these from the same batch as the discs that work well? Maybe discs are bad. I'd suggest defragging the harddrive, reinstalling your software, check the discs for visable blemishes/imperfections, and make sure your writer's firmware is up-to-date. Oh, and run a spyware and adware checker to make sure you don't have anything keeping your computer busy while you're trying to write a disc. hope this helps, john
Yes these are the same cds ive had success with before, but all of a sudden this problem has come up. So far ive done everything but up date the firmware, because im not familiar with what firmware is or what it does. any adivce on this?
Well, if these are from the same batch, then you shouldn't have to worry about the firmware since you've had success in the past. Honestly, I'm stumped.. How old is the burner?
according to the info tool my drive is a "Generic DVD Dual 4x max" it says its from 2003, which sounds correct to me...about 3 years old.
