Ever since I installed the Beta of SP2, my brand-new Samsung CD burner won't burn anything. The Windows CD burning wizard "encounters an error" and ruins my CD without writing a thing to it. Nero Burning ROM is worse. It causes a memory dump every time it starts. The same thing also happened to a friend of mine after he installed SP2, and he had to reformat. I really don't want to have to do that.

That's why it is a BETA

You installed unfinished, bug-ridden BETA software then complain that
it caused a problem? Be serious!

Well the EXACT PROBLEM followed with the official release of SP2. My
Samsung burner is not working, and the Microsoft SP2 support says that SP2 is
not compatible with the Samsung driver. Well, Nero Express 6 worked with the
same driver. Their recommendation is stay with SP1. That's about all the
responsibility Microsoft will take, or at least, this support person feels
so. I AM DISGUSTED.
