no graphics, sound..solved

Yes, I have updated all windows updates + the plextor firmware and my system just can not write to these CD's. Today I though maybe I had a bad batch of CDR's so I got two more spindels (different manufactures + supposedly better quality) and I still can not write. So I have tried four difference CDR media and none work.

However, when I un-install and re-install the old version (2.613 as I recall). I can write to the disc.

This is a flaky problem. I have had one instance (out of about 40 tries) in which data was written, but there was no video, just music and blue screen. Otherwise, sometimes write completes but the disc is empty and other times it just stop half way through with a disc write error.

I would appreciate any suggestion!

PS: I have been reading all these forums and have tried the following
1) uninstall 2.613 completely before install
2) Update all windows drivers
3) update plextor to latest driver
4) difference CDR media
5) changes write speed
6) Enable hardware error correction
