Nov 26, 2004 11:15PM PST

i have windows media player 10 and whenever i click burn cd the computer restarts- I can burn cds in other programs so I know its not the burner, but I tried to roll back to version 9 and it did the same thing so I dont think its the program either... it said syster recovered from a serious error and gave me a file in my local settings/ temp folder- Idk what to do- help anyone? Also when i dont have a cd in the tray and i click burn it is fine, but when i put one in it just restarts....- HELP!
