Using version 2.9.7.9 and after reading the dvd and begins writing to the blank dvd+r it freezes. It began last night to write and after 9 hours I canceled it. There is no error message. I need some help

- brand of bland dvd's been burned before successfully?

- anything different running in background, av, antispy, ect.? Some can interfere with process.

- check your secondary ide controller setting via device manager, set to "ultra dma" for this burner? If PIO will be problems and be very slow....and sometimes does change "mysteriously" from a prior correct setting

On an older version, I put blank media in and left for awhile. I was surprised that copy was not complete, so observed and noticed it was writing a few seconds then stall for 15 minutes plus or minus some minutes. I finally stopped it and when closing the Express I noticed that I had clicked too many times and opened 2 copies of Express. Cannot remember if one was prompting to install a player or not. I completely closed Express and started over, and copied normally. Impatience is part of many problems.
