I'm trying to solve a problem on a friends PC, the scenario goes as
follows:-
They had an old PC (P90, 32MB, win 95) and added a Ricoh MP7083a CD writer
and installed Nero. The drive has apparently never worked properly, it has
only ever worked on single speed burn and then inconsistently. One problem
they told me was that the audio CD's only work in new CD players, I assume
this is because the old one won't read CD-Rs or the disk wasn't finalized,
or such like. They did say that sometimes it appears to work but tracks are
silent on playback.
Anyway, they got a new PC (Duron 1.3 , 256MB, WinXP Pro) and basically have
the same problem. XP says the files cannot be written to the cd when using
all sppeds except the slowest and I did try one track at single speed and it
worked but is silent on playback. I have upgraded to the latest firmware
but to no avail.
Any help welcome
Thanks
