15225	2001-07-08 08:17:00	I own a Mustek MRW 8432, and I have been using it for around 4 months, the only problem I have with it is that it only writes at 2 spd!!! I have tried using different software (nero and blindwrite) and also different brands of CD...it still doesn't work. I tried to chose the write spd but it always say change of write spd due to media. Is my drive faulty?? Or is there some settings I need to change? I think there was one time when it wrote at 4 spd. I have an athlon 1 Ghz with 256 mb ram 40 gb hdd.. any help would be appreciated.

If you are using single use CD's try something like Verbatim or Sony, maybe a little more to buy but you might also be able to write faster. In Nero, I use v4091, I assume newer versions are similair, Nero will detect the max speed of the CD and you will have the choice of that speed or something slower	Guest (0)
