Troubleshooting Easy CD Creator
Preventing Buffer Underruns
Here are some suggestions for preventing buffer underruns:
Try closing other programs (disable screen savers, virus
software, and other tasks or applications running in the
background).
Defragment your hard disk. Under Windows 95/98 and
Windows 2000, you can start defragmentation from the
properties sheet for any drive letter in Explorer.
Make sure that the temporary files are created on a fast local
hard disk. Do not set the location of temporary files to a
directory on a network drive; set the location of the temporary
files using the Options command under the Tools menu.
Make sure that the CD-Recorder and the hard disk are both
configured to allow disconnect. Refer to the property sheet for
your CD-Recorder and your hard disk. You can view these
property sheets by opening System from the Control Panel and
selecting Device Manager.
Record at a slower speed.
Do not record across a network. Copy the desired files to your
local hard disk.
Make sure DMA is enabled. Refer to the property sheet for
your CD-Recorder. You can view these property sheets by
opening System from the Control Panel and selecting Device
Manager.
