Hi Lightning! Actually before I replied i managed to burn at x4 (before chipset intel download). I shut down heavy memory programmes like outlook & any explorer windows.Still not able to verify as some issue with 'cycling' tray??? So will report back if new settings burn every time. I know some 'fails' will be crap media.....but I'll also deffo shut down heavy memory use programmes in future. Thank you for all your help-will keep you posted!

Hello all-please be gentle as I'm not technical at all....(!) Trying to burn an ISO image to disc. Recently (& I have tried lots of different medias!) I've been having (75% of the time) errors in burning discs. I've got the latest imgburn & never burn at full speed-usually at x4. Is it something I do wrong/an IMGBURN setting issue/or is my lazer burner knackered???! It's all very frustrating! Please see below the log of my most recent failed attempt....I wonder if any of you good folk could explain in 'baby' (!) terms what's wrong/what I need to do? Thanks in advance! //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 - Log ; Tuesday, 18 January 2011, 11:49:11 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 11:44:54 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!
