I’m Getting Errors When I Try To Burn A CD. What Can I Do?
There are numerous things you can try:
Reboot your PC before burning a CD.
Remove any unnecessary programs from memory (use CTRL-ALT-DELT to bring up the task list, and then use the «End Task» button to kill everything except Explorer and Systray, including your virus protection software, since this can interfere with CD burning).
Unplug your printer before restarting your PC to burn disks. Printer drivers that communicate with the printer can intervene with burning.
Disable your screen saver before burning. A screen saver firing up can easily wreck a burn. Go to Control Panel / Display and click on the Screen Saver tab to turn it off, if there is one as the default.
Burn at a lower speed than normal.
Of course, all these precautions may not be necessary but I’d try them all if you’re having persistent difficulties. If you get things working, you can discontinue them and see if the problem(s) return.
