very low burning speed with nero!

[alsiladka]

guyz , i am gettig extremely low burning speed on nero!!

it is burning cds at a speed of only 5x to 10x even though i select min. 40x !!

i have tried it with nero 6 and 7 both!! it was not the case before as i used to write even at 52x succesfully

also while writing , the computer becomes very sluggish and slow .

can anyone explain the strange happening to me? please if your solution is to switch over from nero , you can keep it to yourself as that is not a technical solution which i am expecting.

sorry for the framing of the post , i am in a lot of hurry

maybe your cd-writer is getting old.

Did you check the settings of the drive. Is DMA enabled? Trying other media might help but in your case the speed is so low that that is unlikely. If you see low buffer levels during burning the cause might be in the source of the files you are burning. Perhaps a fragmented harddrive?
