Well, how much Disk space your Aunt's have left on her Computer!
- How much RAM installed.
- Does this behavior just started or dragging from a long time and your
aunt's got fed up with it now?
Did you run disk clean up and Defrag in safe mode with a thorogh scan for
malware and viruses?

I mean by the causer, it could be the CD, another application or the System
itself. This why I said let us have the Event Viewer log which will log the
error with a Timestamp and the causer (could be a program, add-ons..etc)

I don't mean she is the causer .

484 MB not Bytes (MB = 1000 KB, KB=1000 Bytes) is too much for a less
resource compute if it is the case!
It will be helpful if she perfromed the cleaning steps and then she closed
all other applications and tried to copy the CD, does it copy okay without
problem?
If it didn't then we need the Info about the System by using this tool:
BgInfo v4.14
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.aspx
And the Event Viewer error messages.

My aunt's computer keeps freezing up when she uses her cd drive only certian
music or other types do this we're not sure why Please help us figure out the
problem.

Well, how much Disk space your Aunt's have left on her Computer!
- How much RAM installed.
- Does this behavior just started or dragging from a long time and your
aunt's got fed up with it now?
Did you run disk clean up and Defrag in safe mode with a thorogh scan for
malware and viruses?

484 MB not Bytes (MB = 1000 KB, KB=1000 Bytes) is too much for a less
resource compute if it is the case!
It will be helpful if she perfromed the cleaning steps and then she closed
all other applications and tried to copy the CD, does it copy okay without
problem?
If it didn't then we need the Info about the System by using this tool:
BgInfo v4.14
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.aspx
And the Event Viewer error messages.

well its a music cd so i'd say 484 bytes

nass said:
How big the Data/Music needed to be copied to CD/DVD?

:

causer are you telling me that she is causing the problem or is it the cd's?

:



So she is using the Windows Copy and Paste Procedure..hmmm still will log an
error on the causer hopefully!

:


ok but I think its just like popping in a cd and throwing the files on the
cd and clicking write files to cd.

:



What burning software you are/she is using?
It could be the burning software caused the error!
Tell her to go throgh these cleaning steps:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
