No, I have not tried command line burning. I will attempt that this even- ing. The CD-RW is a Sony 24x4x2 (cd, cdr, cdrw) I burn all at 2x to ensure no problems with data write errors, and this used to work flaw lessly in 7.1 and older..........

Klar - CVE have you tried a running cdrecord from a command line? I had to resort to using a command line as I could not get any of the gui versions to work. Also what is the make and speed of your CD-RW? I found that even though my CD-RW was supposed to write at 10X that most cd's whilst being certified to 12X skip the 10X speed for some reason or another (ie. 1X,2X,4X,6X,8X,12X) . -- Joseph S Gardner Senior Designer / Technical Support Kirby Co., Cleveland, OH [EMAIL PROTECTED] The box said, "Requires Windows 3.x or better", so I got Linux.
