Hi


When burning discs, you should relay always burn then at a slower speed. 8x or 16x should be enough.

2 reasons for this:

  1. Older CD/DVD players cannot read disks burned over 24x speed. Always burn on a lower speed
  2. Make sure that you finalize the disk after burning

Other things to check...

Try a different brand of media. Try using Nero and see if that works.

hey thanks a lot i have it working now :)
