DVD Writer Problem

[siddhesh]

Hello Everyone,

I recently purchased a Sony DVD Writer from Lamington Road, Mumbai. Sometimes, I get the "Session Fixation Error" at the end of the dvd writing process & the DVD is wasted. If I restart my PC & then write the DVD, there are no errors. But it is not possible to restart everytime I want to write a DVD. Please guide me as to how this problem can be solved.

Have a nice day!

Hey NO probs with RAM and software

its bcoz of bad lens or dusted lens...coz i had a sony writer 24x earlier and i used to get te same problem

then i found out tht reason was bcoz i had written more than 1500 cds with it and the lens had worn out ..


..go xchange ur writer or chk it in ur frnds place...

Sorry about that Raven! Anywayz, thankx for the link.

Firstly, I will try changing my media which is currently Princo.
else, change my burning program
or finally, service my DVD Writer.

Thankx everyone! Bye.

1) First Change ur Media
