compact disk read write PROBLEM?????

I have a dimension 4700, my cd/rw is not working properly--the drive will play store bought audio cds but it is starting to read very slow. When i try to burn a cd, (music), all programs, musicmatch, sonic and windows media player all say that cd is burngin correctly and that each cd is being completed correctly, but when cd is done and i attempted to play cd, my computer is saying cd is blank. It seems that nothing is being copied to cd. what do i do?????

    Gabe my friend, anything is possible any more !!
    You can try cleaning the drive with one of those cleaning discs, some like the one with the small brush; others prefer the use of compressed air in a can, short "puffs".
    Give it a try and let us know

    Hi Gabe,

    A few standard steps to cover a driver conflict;
    Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 15, article 1; section 20, article 3; section 11, article 2.
    You might consider checking the Downloads link under the Product Support Tab above for a possible firmware update for your drive. After entering information for your system, if one is available it would be under Removable Media Storage Devices.

    Best Regards
