I am using windows XP home edition. Trying to burn a cd with Windows Media
Player. The program will not burn. The message I get is either that the
disk is dirty--I have only used Memorex CDs directly from the pack, or that
the speed is too fast. I have used every speed from the fastest to 4X--no
luck. I know very little about computers but I am following the instructions
step by step. Any help will be appreciated. seac

Nothing wrong with Memorex, they are excellent CDs.
Clean Your CD-R/W - If you find that you are starting to make more coasters
than before, or when you run the simulation test it completes perfectly but
the burns fail you may have a dirty lens. Dust is getting sucked into the
drive all the time and it doesn't take much to affect your laser lens. In
addition, wipe the disk with a clean
dry cotton cloth before inserting in the burner, humidity can cause this
problem
also.
