I was using Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 which was bundled with my drive. I have done a clean uninstall and currently have no burning software installed. Following are my system stats. Understand that the only thing that changed on my system was updateing the firmware. I have had no problems with my drive untill I updated the firmware.
