CD-Burner XP-Pro-3 3.0.116

[Mindful]

Is there a version of this burner that doesn't LOCK-UP in the middle of a
burn process? When burning I turn everything off and don't use my PC which
has a 2.60 Pentium 4 processor and a Sony burner that's burn proof (no
underruns). I'm tired of throwing CDs away and having to start all over
again. Thanks.

I'm using that version on XP-Pro-SP2 without that problem.
Do you have some oddball problem with your op/sys?

 

[Fran]

The best you can do is try another program. I recommend burnatonce.

 

[John Jay Smith]

This version does not lock up.
I suspect your system is to blame but you are so arrogant
you think its always everyones elses fault

Try "Windows Media Player 11" (beta, but stable for me) for great rip and
burn features.

No problems with the op/sys. MM and Nero don't lock-up or freeze but we
like XP-Pro's ease of use more than these other two. Also we can't figure
out how to use the Jewel case creator in Nero, making it useless for us.

Thanks. I was hoping to find a version of XP-Pro that was known for it's
stability. I will definitely look into WMP 11.

I'm using the same version on win2k sp4 rollup and xp sp2 systems. No
hangs on burning either cda, mp3, data or iso's. But as someone else
mentioned...burnatonce has a good rep.

There may be other software conflicting with XP-Pro on our system. I just
downloaded Burnatonce with it's update and will try it tonight. Thanks
again.

I don't use Nero but XP-Pro-3 has a jewel case printing facility
which I use. It's a bit basic but very neat.

I would think to completely uninstall XP-Pro-3 and clear out the
registry of all relevant settings using jv16 or whatever, reboot and
then re-install it. Maybe also try a fresh copy of the download
installer too. Also check your Sony drive is set up correctly in
the properties page of MyComputer.

Yes, I like the Jewel case insert maker that comes with XP-Pro-3. It uses a
minimum of ink.

It says "This Device is working properly." The frustrating thing is it will
burn 5 or 6 CDs perfectly,... then freeze. Sometimes it will burn 10, then
freeze. Sometimes only one. I've already tried the uninstall and reinstall
but the freezes still occur.

EventViewer might reveal the cause of the freeze...

Have you tried running it w/o an absolute minimum of other apps and
drivers running? You could try sysinternals Autoruns to temporarily
untick some drivers not needed for the op/sys or burning CDs rebooting
after unticking, then use Task Manager to get rid of unwanted apps
started automatically at boot up.

Apart from that it seems you have a driver or something which is
clashing. Does your Sony CD drive have its own drivers? or does it
use the standard MS ones?

 

[John Jay Smith]

BEWARE! if you use Media Encoder for screencapture...

it breaks it...

I would suggest you wait until its out of beta

I forgot how to find Event Viewer.... :-(

I always burn with everything (all aps) turned off. I can't imagine what
can be clashing with XP-Pro.

I have no idea what drivers it uses. How can I find that information?

I don't have Screencapture (whatever that is).

r/click my computer and 'manage'

I have no idea what drivers it uses. How can I find that information?

r/click my computer, properties, device manager. Select the Sony CD
device and under properties it'll state the driver used.

If decide to un-install, use cdburnerxppro's installer. it has a repair
function that you might try first before you un-install. otherwise
deepburner works nicely.

Sony uses the MS driver. Event finder wasn't helpful to see if and where
there is a clash or problem. Burnatonce did fine but has no Jewelcase
insert provided. I hope the writer adds it someday.

Where do I find the "installer" with the repair function? I just clicked on
install and it installed the program.

deepburner works nicely.

Before I install yet another burner; does Deepburner come with a Jewel case
insert maker?

I think we've covered most obvious things. It looks like it's a clash
of the titans somewhere. Be aware there is (or soon will be) a later
version of CD-Burner-XP Pro but it will need MS .NET and you may
not like this.
