This problem has been reported by a number of people. The cause is
unclear. This has been known to happen suddenly to otherwise fully
functional CD recorders.
Models where this has been seen:
- Smart & Friendly 2224
- HP 9710
If this happens to you:
- Have you changed media recently? Perhaps your recorder doesn't
like the new blanks.
- Have you "upgraded" operating systems recently? Could be an OS
issue.
- Try at least one other piece of software (e.g. a demo version of
Nero or CDRWIN) just to see if something broke the software.
