Hey Folks,
Newbie to the fourms but not MC. Used to have old MC with this machine running Win98SE. Now I have winxp pro with the latest ver of MC. and all the same hardware. Everything works good except the burning process. Here's what happens, I send music to the burner and push the burn button, progress windows opens showing to meter's and then it just hangs there, after about 15 sec an error message "can't start the write" pops up and thats it. I've looks through all the posts and can't find anyone having this problem or error mess. I've tried all the tricks I could find including the new aspi Layer for Xp (ver 4.70) and disabling the win xp cd burning feature (both ways) but nothing works. The Cdr drive will play audio through it using MC just fine. I also have the latest drivers installed for XP from HP but the device Manager still shows it as using the microsoft one. Don't know if it matters or not. Any kind of help would be good, I hate to have paided for this and not be able to use it all! Thks Here's my stuff -
