Is my CD Burner dying???

[ALBPM]

I haven't used it in about 6 months and am getting a plethora of errors....

Unspecified recorder error
reset occured
could not perform endtrack
invalid writestate
simulation failed

I've uninstalled and re-installed Nero and no luck so far.

Is this my excuse to get a DVD/CD burner

I have heard intel's "app accelertor" drivers can cause some problems with some CD software?

But Yes it is a great excuse to by a DVD burner..it worked for me(very happy to bin my old LG)

That "app accelerator" is just intels own UDMA driver that is enginered to make the hdd faster on the expense of CPU cycles, the complete opposit of the thought behind UDMA.
