Perhaps your hard disk is set to power off after a certain amount of time.
If there's no keyboard/mouse activity within the time the hard disk will power down which will stop the burn process. Try Control Panel\Display Properties There should be a Power Settings (or similar) button on the Display Properties, click on it and set 'Turn off hard disks' to Never. Set 'System Stand by' and 'System hibernate' to Never while your at it. Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

You must be using one of those British made CD-Burners 
They are nothing but trouble, try using an American brand  Wer ist dort? Unterbrechende Kuh. Unterbrech... Muh!!! | |

Im sure there are enough forums on the net that you could ask this question in, and im sure people on those techie forums would be happy to sort your issue out. However ..... how about telling us some of the specifications of your PC. Lets start with the following Proccessor Type and Speed (i.e P4 3.2Ghz) How much memory to do you? (i.e 1Gb) What is the size of your hard drive(s) How much free space do you have How fragmented are your drives What operating system do you have? (PLEASE tell me its not Windows ME) Is it up to date with patches / updates What Anti Virus software do you have and when did you last update it? What is the make / model / speed of your CDR drive? Does your PC hang when you are doing anything else?? Have you tried using another burning program such as Nero? If you can tell us this it might give us a better idea of whats going on. If i can help i will - love4oneanother - Peace to you Gold319 | |

It's probably the shitty overpriced English electricity. Sometimes because you are not in America it will just stop flowing. This is primarily due to over taxing, immigration policy and roundabouts. There really is no way to stop this. A change of government would produce a temporary change but then the country would just go to shit again and the outages would start again.
For many of us we have sent our partners out to get a second job to pay for all the wasted CD-R's but as we all know this is not a possibility for you. 
There really is only one solution.....here is 10p ....call someone who gives a shit! | |
