semaphore timed out ***FIXED

[krisberg]

it looks like I have posted this maybe in the wrong section, however I have already posted so here goes: I hope someone can help me regardless.

I am a Vista user unfortunately and have been using ImgBurn for some time with no problem. I have an external burner. I had Microsoft help me recentely with my computer not recognizing my CD drive. The issue was fixed.

This is the only change since the last time I used ImgBurn and today I tried to burn and I received this log:

 

I 16:55:35 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 16:55:35 Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition (6.0, Build 6001 : Service Pack 1)

I 16:55:35 Total Physical Memory: 3,134,368 KB - Available: 1,413,228 KB

The first error ('The semaphore timeout period has expired') is the important one.

 

You get that error when you've got a bad USB controller / driver / enclosure combo.

 

I suggest you talk to MS again, maybe then you can come back here and tell us why it happen... nobody really knows 100% and there's certainly no sure fix for it.
