CD RW problems

[aj_86cc]

I've been having trouble burning cd's for a long time. Any kind of CD's. Data, Music, whatever. I have a (i think Lite-On) 52x24x52 burner. THe thing worked for awhile but now it just gives me an error. I use the software it came with: nero. I tried it with realplayer and that didn't make a difference; also I tried getting different CD's and that also didn't make a difference. I have the log on my desktop of the last failed writing session if any info in that would help. Also I have tried writing in raw mode but that doesn't work either. I think it's busted. If anyone thinks of anything else tell me, otherwise recommend a good solid cd-rw that would be highly unlikely to have problems. thanx.

Sorry, I didn't relaize that Realplayer was a burning program.
It might help if you post the error.
Lite-On is a highly regarded name on this Forum, but all manufacturers can have defective products.
