Hi,

I have a Samsung 32x10x40 CD-RW and running WinXP. Everytime I try to burn something w/ Roxio EZ CD 5.0, it freezes half the time when i click "record now" button. I am using Imation 16x CD-R's...do you think it is because the CD-R's aren't rated higher than 16x? Sometimes everything will burn smoothly and w/ no problems, but again, its like 50/50.

I tried lowering the speed to 16x, but it still froze. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Like Bacillus says - if you don't have the latest and greatest patches from Roxio, you will have nothing but problems. Your ECDC % "About" should read at least 5.1 (79)

I saw these at CompUSA today. They had a sticker that said EZCD won't work under Win95 with that drive. Sounds kind of dumb to include software that won't work,but maybe an upgrade will fix it.

maybe a misstype by him. anyway, you HAVE to get the updates after 5.0 for XP because Roxio said so!
