Just tried to burn a CD and noticed the following:
If there is a blank CD in the drive and I go to select the tracks that I want to burn then MC continuously accesses the drive, slowing MC down. The HD light constantly blinks like the drive is being searched, but nothing ever happens. If I close MC then the drive accesses stop. Also, if there's NOT a blank CD in the drive, then MC stays normal and doesn't access the drive nor does it slow down.
ALso have Nero 5.5.10.50 and Norton Antivirus 2003. I remember that there was a thread at one time talking about this... (I think...)
