update problem solved 4 now

I don't know if this is the same problem, but my burner sometimes putzes out on me as well. I just unplug it, plug in an old one and reboot, rip from it for about 10 seconds, then shut down again, re-plug in my regular burner and all's well. I have to do this every 1-2 weeks. I'm using LG burners.

back up your computer and reistall shrink and see what happen also do a disc frag
