ianymaty & Lightning UK administrator, thanks for all the help. This is really a great forum. My computer is an HP desktop - your guess was very close. I gather that since Lightning UK administrator has indicated that this is a bug that has now been fixed: That the next version of Image Burn will contain the fix.....So I can just wait until that happens? Thanks again, and this is a great product, Bertwest

Thanks for getting back to me. I do have the lastest version of Image Burn installed. Firmware HQ does not list TSST brand CD writer. Thanks for telling me where I can find old Image Burn logs. Here is a log where TAO failed, and then I successfully burned the project with SAO: ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 - Log ; Wednesday, 16 February 2011, 03:29:49 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 02:47:10 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

I'm new to Image Burn. Using a TSST H653Q. On a Vista system. When I burn an audio CD in SAO, everything works fine. When I use TAO, even with the 2 second Gap setting, there is an error window stating that it had a problem closing due to An Invalid Field in the CDB. This happens in the first quarter of the first track. I know I should have included a copy of the log, but after wasting 2 CDs, I figured I'd see if anyone else had a simple answer.....Perhaps I am not checking a box that should be checked. Thanks in advance - Bertwest
