Hi I recently purchased the Liteon 16x external burner(SOHW 1673SX) and although it gets the job done, its very slow in burning movies, upwards of 2.5 hours using Nero at 4x with buffer level jumping around. I read in another forum that I may need to update my firmware. After finally finding it(I went through probably a dozen broken links first) I saved the file, unzipped it, and went to run it. However, it completely freezes my laptop everytime I open it, can't even press ctrl/alt/dlt.

Am I just doing something completely wrong? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Just wondering but did you look here for the firmware.

Maybe you got a corrupt version or download.

While you are trouble-shooting the firmware issue another area you may want to check is to see if you have USB2.0 instead of USB1.1. You may also want to check to see if your DMA is turned on.

Bence2g: try ScubaPete's guides (PC Basics) which will give info on you how to check your DMA:

Or...

Try BBMayos guides here:
