When I try burning CDs with Roxio, I always get a buffer underrun error. I've tried burning on all speeds from 24x - 1x, and I've tried closing all the open programs, but this still happens. The computer is a new Dell Dimension desktop, so it seems to me that it should have enough "buffer" to handle CD burning...Anyways, since that didn't work, I got Nero, but it won't even start burning. When I try to burn a CD, it brings up the burning progress screen, but then says "error: invalid field in parameter" and stops right there. MusicMatch also encounters a problem before ever making it to the burning stage. This is a brand new computer, and I'd really like to take advantage of the CD burner which I paid for, but as of yet, I've had no success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but I'm not that computer savvy, so please try help me out with any complicated stuff, and if you're easily frustrated by beginners, please take your criticism elsewhere. Thanks!

Do the folllowing:

-Defrag your drive(s)
-Dont run other apps when buring your CDs
-Check all programs running in the background. CHeck the Start up folder for apps that start at boot time. Keep only the ones you want. Delete the rest. ALso check the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Remove entries that you dont need.

Make sure Auto Protect Anti Viruses are turned off when you burn

If all this doesnt work, you seem to have some problem with your hardware.

Actually, Roxio recently released an update that allowed me to burn CDs, but after installing it, my CD drive no longer "spins up" by itself. When I put a CD in, the drive makes a few pathetic noises and then gives up. If I go into Explorer and check the contents of the drive, the computer says that there's nothing in it. I have to use a program, such as MusicMatch, to prompt the drive to "wake up" before it actually spins up and recognizes the disk in it.

It sounds like a hardware problem, was the drive delivered into the computer ?
If you can open it, check that the IDE cables are all properly connected, or ask your retailer about this problem, especially in Windows Explorer. It shouldn't happen.

It may be also the use of crappy no name CDRs. Can Windows Explorer recognize brand new pressed CDs ?

Roxio puts some registry files in your system.
So uninstall (that shit) and then try again..
