> Hi Everyone.    When using the CD  burner, is it necesary to close down
all things like Nortons Anti virus, Webshots, Spam killers , Web Cam and
things like that  ??    Lionel.

It's traditionally been good practise to close down as much as you can when
burning....Mind you, this dates back to when you were using small amounts of
RAM and low specced processors, and burning speeds like we see today and
things like 'Burnproof' writing was unheard of. My first burner was a 4
speeder on a Cyrix 300 processor with 128mb of RAM-If I tried to open
anything while it was trying to burn, I ended up with a nice shiny drinks
coaster!!

Technology has moved on now, both in the reliability/speed of the CD Writer
and the higher specifications of modern PC's, so you don't normally have to
go to such lengths as closing down your AV or firewall while burning.
Modern writers have big enough buffers so that any slight interruption in
the flow of data wouldn't be noticeable, and the 'Burnproof' feature would
kick in if any major bottleneck appeared,  but it's still good practise not
to do anything else with the PC while doing the burn, especially  when
burning an audio disc.

Cheers

Andy
