aopen cdrw - 'session fixation error'?

i have an AOpen 52x32x52x cdrw drive, which has worked fine for just over a
year... but now it's just randomly stopped. i have below the error report
from Nero. does anyone know how to interpret these? if so, what's the
prognosis? should i just bin the heap of junk and get a new drive, or is
something really simple that just needs tweaked. any more info you need,
please ask....


cheers,
