Hi, today, I try to burn files into my cd, but it fails several time(it fails during processing, around 50%, 20% or sometime not at all))with different speeds(8x,24x, 32x). (Man, I lost 4 cds because of that!!)

However, after I delete the windows temp files(using window washer), and now I am able to burn!

Is that a coincidence?

Its probably not a coincicence. Some CD-Writer programs (maybe even all of them) cache the files they are about to burn in the windows temp directoy. If this directory is clogged up then it might cause problems...?
