When inserting a cd it looks like an attempt is made to read it but windows completely freezes and the only option is to power off. Any ideas?

- I reinstalled the latest driver for this device and all appears to be working. I did this very recently but it must not have installed properly, either that or a newer driver has just been released.
Anyway thanks very much for your help, much appreciated.

Which OS do you run on your PC? Does it the first time to install this CD-ROM ? How many CD-ROM's or DVD players are installed in your PC ? Your answers will help to direct you to the solution.
I had this happen to me with corrupted CD's, or just old scratched ones.
If it's not specific, but happens with every CD you put in, then try the following- right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager>right click on your burner drive>properties>
You'll find a troubleshooting option there, and if you click on the driver tab you can also update the driver or roll back to a former driver.
Let us know it it worked out(use the comment option), if not we'll try figuring something out ;]

I have burned dvd's on this burner for months using Memorex DVD-R and DVD+R. Now when I put either one in it says the disk is full. When I go to my F: drive and to properties it says 0 freespace and 0 used space on the DVD's. I"ve also tried Sony DVD_R and DVD+R. How do I get around this or what do I need to do to fix this?

I have a Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d that's not working right. I use roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 for burning movies. It only burns them only about 1.2x-1.5x and suppose to burn up to 16x. I've been using roxio with this burner for a long time with no problem. A month or so I had a problem with the sound(soundcard) and couldn't fix it so ended up reinstalling Windows XP. That fit the sound problem. I installed Roxio and it work for a time or two. Then one time I tried disc copier in Roxio it said no supported recorder was found. If this keeps happening to reinstall Roxio. Which I have Several times and a few times it would come up with that message and would work properly. Then I would shut down cpu and I rstart it and use Roxio it would come up with the no supported recorder message. Also when I start itunes it pops up a message saying the registry setting used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cd and dvd are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please reinstall itunes. I install itunes right before I started having this problem, I think. I haven't tried to reinstall itunes yet because I hate to lose my data. Is there a way you can save the data and uninstall and reinstall itunes? Does anyone know if itunes has anything to do with my dvd burning problems? Thanks
