Welcome to Windrivers shure akshun

First of all, all capitals is considered shouting and is also very difficult to read, so please be aware of your caps lock key!

Second, this is a common problem if you uninstall or install burning software or software that can process burning...

If this is XP follow the instructions here

If you are running Vista beware that some burning software is not completely compatible and causes these problems.
