Microstudio locks up /crashes on record, over and over again, randomly
 

Microstudio is now causing problems after successfully recording several disks. Now it is eating every disk I try to record.

This time I ran "test CD" successfully but then when I was actually recording it froze on track 10. No error message, just froze, necessitating the reboot of the computer.

This has happened several times.

I am recording at 4X. BTW, this setting likes to just change itself back to "automatic" whenever it feels like it, again eating another disk as I know it will not record higher than 4x. It should stay at the 4x setting unless I change it.

We need all the info about your system you can give us. Use this as an example:

XPHOME UPGRADE FROM 98SE SP1,SP2
DIRECTX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0901)
GIGABYTE TITAN GA81DX
INTEL P4@1600MHZ, 512MB RAM
ATI BUILT RADEON 7500
CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER PC1128
PLEXTORS 52X AND 712A AND SONY 710DL

Also, what type of media are you using.

I don't know everything you ask for.

Using Windows 98SE on an AMD 733 Mhz Duron chip.

Using Plextor PX-712UF.

It worked fine and all of a sudden it freezes. Since I made my post it has now frozen twice when trying to import a track. This time the computer does not freeze, just the importing process.

Try going to the Plextor website and download the latest drivers for that burner.

See if that helps.

I would also run all of the Windows Updates from the Start Menu\Windows Update. This might help, but if it freezes completely, it sounds like a hardware error that would cause this. Try burning an audio CD with another program on your computer and see if the same thing happens.
