findfast will slow your machine right down and you don't really need it.

the only two you really need are explorer and systray. FindFast is a hog and will cause exactly what you are describing.

well here's two tips
never play any games and try burning a cd at the same time
never press ctrl+alt+del when a cd is burning

these are jsut basic things that will mess up your cd
