I have a Roxio Easy CD Creator installed on my computer from Dell and itr has been anything but easy whether I am trying to copy a music CD or trying to do a compilation music CD.  I have tried to very specifically follow the instructions from the help menu at Roxio, but when I hit the record button, it will not complete the disc.  I usually only get one or two songs copied before the process stops, claiming the disc " finished and giving me the following error message, " 80041898 WRITE ERROR (03/OC/00)".

I have tried ininstalling and reinstalling the Roxio Program using Roxiozap and again using the Predator process in its entirety ( including deleting identified registry items) with no success.  I continue to get the same error message and ruined CDs.

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 purchased in July 2003.  The CD writer came installed with the system and I believe it is a NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A. The operating system is MS Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002.  I have not performed any maintenance on the operating system or hard drive..  The Roxio CD Creator provided by Dell is 5.3.4 Bais and I have upgraded through the Roxio Site to the only upgrade for basic, 5.3.5.  The only software that I have added is Kodak Easyshare for my photos.  I have been able to put photos on a cdr successfully several times including this week.  There have been some upgrades to that program since first installed, but I am not aware of any other system changes that would affect the cd burning process.

Any help would be appreciated.
