Every time I try and burn a CD the system locks and I have to reboot.

I click on the Burn CD/DVD menu pick get the first dialogue box and then the hourglass and nothing.

I have a Dell 2300 with an NEC NR-9100A CD Drive and Easy CD Creator (5.3.5.10). If I copy the files to a temp folder and then drag to the CD in Explorer then they copy OK.

Alex,

Thanks again

I've downloaded the latest version (433).

Something new I have noticed is if I have a full CD in the drive I get the main 'BurnCD' dialogue box and very quickly a second. If I have a blank CD in the drive I get the main 'Burn CD' dialogue box then after 30 seconds rge CD light comes on but still nothing and then a very long wait (5 minutes) before anything else happens, if at all. If nothing happens and I use the Task Manager to close PicaJet then I cannot reopen the program unless I reboot.

I've attached a picture of the 'BurnCD' dialogue box hope this is what you require. I took this screen dump with no CD in the drive because as I mentioned with a blank CD the program just freezes.

[Alex]

What kind of blank CD's do you use?

[user]

Why would it have anything to do with the blank CD? They are all the same arent they?

[Alex]

PicaJet freezes while getting information from blank CD. May be this is problem with special CD's.

Different CD have different write speed, different capacity, different manufacturer, it may be CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW.

I use a generic brand which burn fine from explorer.

To eliminate the CD brand I tried it today with a FujiFilm CD-R and exactly the same, the program locks up and I have to restart.
