I am having a very frustrating problem with my Yamaha 8424E in Win2000. No matter what program I use of the 4 I have installed: (Nero 5.0.1.8, EZCD4 4.02, CDRWin 3.8B, or Fireburner v1.06) when I press the "write" button (figuratively speaking), most of the time the program will just appear to freeze up and I cannot eject the cd from the cdr drive. My only solution is to turn the computer off and then on. This last time it happened, I tried going into the device manager to check properties, etc. and when I right-clicked the yamaha and chose properties, the device manager locks up.
It's almost like the cdr drive disconnects from the system and freezes anything associated with it.
I did a search for "aspi" and "cdr" and looked over some of the other problems, and none seem to be related to this.
For what it's worth, this computer is on a NetWare network, and I'm not logged in as the Administrator, but am using an account that has administrator rights.
Please help! I'm tired of formatting! hehe.
