I agree but then again I did the same thing.
The problem with the original post is that I use the functionality built into Windows 7.
At Church, we use Nero and it does have its off days but I have no idea why.
Found the D drive -- CD reader -- was conflicting with the E drive -- CD/DVD reader/writer. Shop doesn't know why. Disconnected D: CD reader and E drive now works fine. Thanks all for suggestions.
