guess i haven't posted here in a little while

I tried the lens cleaner and i still get the same problem

I dual boot my computer so that gave me a place to test my drive under something other than WinXP and it worked fine. Reading at speeds around 7.4x where as with XP i am only reading around 5.4x or less.

I've heard that installing too many different CDR programs can cause software to conflict with each other. Overall i think i've installed:

Nero, Padus DiscJuggler, WinCDR, Blindwrite and maybe a few other miscellaneous things in there. i'll use cd to mp3 ripping for this example (and I use exact audio copy).

I've tried using Native Win32 interface, an external ASPI device and also something called ASAPI interface but i always get the same problem reading from CDs. It's not just with exact audio copy but also just playing cds in winamp forexample

I can tell there seems to be some sorta major underlying problem here. Any ideas?
