You don't give much information, but the most common problem that causes low speed burns is DMA not being enabled. Another is ASPI layer being incorrect, next is old firmware for your burner, and another is bad media. Filling out your computer profile helps. All of these problems have been addressed here, do a forum search for particulars.
