OK, I know that this is an older writer and not very fast. Even though I have a faster internal, I would like some help to get this one going. Here goes When I try to burn a cd using EZ CD Creator Platinum 5, everything goes as normal until about 20 seconds of burn time is left on the first track. I hangs up, the cpu goes to 100%, and ruins the cdr. It does this in test mode also. Something similiar happened when I was running under Windows ME and I enabled data sync transfer and the problem was cleared up. Now with XP I can't even find where or if I can do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
