Sorry about the frustration thing. I've had plenty myself.

I'll try different media and be a good listener. I haven't been all that unhappy with the media I'm using.

The goofy thing that doesn't add up is why all of a sudden all this trouble.

The pc equipment is very clean, does not see the internet, and only used for burning. Temp files are all kept clean and software has no conflicts. Virgin territory for the most part.

Maybe Memorex is bad news, but that does not convince me at this point.

Thanks for the help. If the trouble continues I'll be back.

Best to all of us and happy holidays.

P.S.
Not giving up on my idea, though.
