Hey thanks for getting back to me

I have only used WMP and DeepBurner. DeepBurner was installed after WMP wasn't working.

I have reinstalled both and no luck.

Re: CD/DVD plays but won't burn

How old is your DVD-RW???
When you want to burn something, are you doing some other things on PC like surfing or watching some movie or video clips or playing a game???
Are you able to try DVD-RW on some other PC, just to make sure if everything is OK with your burner...

Hiya.

It's about 6 months old.
While trying to burn, I'm surfing and maybe downloading
No other PC in the house to tr it on.

I built this computer and this is the first time I have tried burning with it that I can remember. Is there some internal cording or jumper stuff that might be causing this?

Re: CD/DVD plays but won't burn

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

quite often it is not finding enough power when it is burning
or the file is corrupt do you do a trial run first
