well the burning software normally switches itself to highest CPU priority to make shure the burn process has enuff CPU at all times

basically helps prevent failed burning

PS:if u have a LOW spec machine try not to mess about with ya system while it is burning somthing

Its burning slow? Close some program and defrag before burning! :)



Sorry I read it wrong, I don't do any tasks when I'm burning . :)

You shouldn't be doing anything while you burn anyway.
That's how you get errors. ;)

defragment? anything new installed that could be taking up memory\using the hard drive\scanning files that go through the computer (like a virus scanner or something)?

What are you using to burn, Nero?

Is it the latest version, 6.6.0.5?
