Burning gets slower and slower

[TonyOCL]

Over the past while I noticed that ROXIO is getting slower and slow. Burning to a DVD can now take an hour. It used to take 15 mins. Which makes backing up to DVD extremely painful.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled EMC9 but it has made no difference.

When I uninstalled it - it even made my burner not recognised by the OD (don't know if this helps).

 

Also now when I try and watch a DVD or play music the sound is garbled. I don't think it is the drives as I have two in this computer, but rather I think it is roxio slowing them donw or something.

 

My machine is Win XP Pro 3.5 ghz processor and 3 gig of ram.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Check Device Manager, under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, to see if your burner is running in Ultra DMA Mode or PIO Mode. It should be under the Secondary IDE Channel. If it is in PIO Mode, try to change it to DMA Mode. If it doesn't hold, right click on the Channel, and select Uninstall. Click OK, then reboot. See if all is well now.
