Hi sjdscotland,
Have you noticed this problem with other burning programs too?
You can try CD Burner XP or Nero for example. I use CD Burner XP for 6 months now and I’m very satisfied. It’s freeware tool and doesn’t need much disk space.
Furthermore you should try deleting the upper and lowerfilters in registry:
