cd burner speed

Hello, I have a strange problem with my cd burner. not really a big issue but a slight irritation. I have a toshiba 48x24x48 cd r rw drive which seems to only write at 24. it used to burn at 40x but now for some reason it only seems to think its a 24x. hmmm any one have any idea of what to do?

Really don't have much of a clue unless it needs to be cleaned. Maybe you should try posting this in the harware section instead..

Probally get more reponse.

It could be the CD-R! Sometimes, there are blank CDs that have a maximum write limit... I once bought some, unintentionally, coz they're cheaper... most of the time, the max write speed is written on the blank CD.
