Ricoh CD-R problem

I'm trying to solve a problem on a friends PC, the scenario goes as
follows:-

They had an old PC (P90, 32MB, win 95) and added a Ricoh MP7083a CD writer
and installed Nero. The drive has apparently never worked properly, it has
only ever worked on single speed burn and then inconsistently. One problem
they told me was that the audio CD's only work in new CD players, I assume
this is because the old one won't read CD-Rs or the disk wasn't finalized,
or such like. They did say that sometimes it appears to work but tracks are
silent on playback.

Anyway, they got a new PC (Duron 1.3 , 256MB, WinXP Pro) and basically have
the same problem. XP says the files cannot be written to the cd when using
all sppeds except the slowest and I did try one track at single speed and it
worked but is silent on playback. I have upgraded to the latest firmware
but to no avail.

Any help welcome


Thanks

I had the same problem with Nero......have you tried using musicmatch
jukebox?
although it may be possible that you just have a duff cdrw

have you got the latest wnaspi32.dll file (V 2.0.1.59) in the Ahead/Nero
folder? if not try downloading it from here and putting it inside here

C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero

ftp://ftp6.nero.com/wnaspi32.dll

I'll try this solution but that wouldn't explain the error using the windows
XP cd burning software, would it?
