33122	2002-01-27 20:23:00	I recently purchased a 5 pack of 'Transonic' CD-RWs, 10* Compatible. However when I attempted to write to one, I receive a 'write protected' message. I have tried both 'Adaptic Easy CD Creator' and 'Direct CD'. Any suggestions?	Guest (0)

33127	2002-01-28 21:46:00	Hello Trevor, perplexing isnt it, I'm wondering if the Transonic isnt as compatable as they say it is,maybe it would be worth buying a single cd-w of another type to see if the same problem develops. cheers, Bob	Guest (0)
33128	2002-01-29 02:40:00	Thank you Bob! I have used other CD-RWs without problems. Is the speed significant? 10*	Guest (0)
33129	2002-01-29 03:29:00	Hello Trevor, Yeh could be that *10 is the speed of disc,..unusual though isnt it,changing Current write or read speed to 10 or under could be worth a go, double click directcd icon on system tray, click next,make sure your drive for the writer is highlighted, and click properties, you can change your speeds in there, good luck, Bob	Guest (0)

Why buy cheap nasties, when good ones that you know work are not that expensive ? I got some Imation CDR for $1.99 the other day all worked fine. I have tried warehouse $1.99 ones, and they always give me grief, not always when writing, but usually when I want to use the CD. (sorry for my rant, but it staggers me what lengths people go to just to save 5c)	Guest (0)
