I recently upgraded from CD Architect verson 5.2 to verson 5.2d and the new version has problems.
When I went to burn a Red Book Standard CD using the new version of CA I kept getting error messages that said that the type of media Iwa susing was incompatible with my drive.
I tried two different types of CDR's including the best of the best, the MFSL 24k Gold CDR's which we use for all of our CD Audio Masters for replication purposes. Both times I got the same error message.
I also tried burning at every speed from Max to 4X and the same error message was received each and every time.
I sent an email to tech support and they of course referred me to the KB article on troubleshooting which I had already read.
After emailing tech support three times and not receiving a sound reply to my query I decided to uninstall CA version 5.2d and reinstall verson 5.2 which I still have on a CD-ROM.
After installing version 5.2 I attempted to burn a Red Book CD and presto, no more problems.
CD Architect version 5.2d has problems. I can't be the only user here who has experienced this. I am a professional audio mastering engineer and I swear by Sony's products having used them for the past 10 years to master almost 50 albums that were commercially released worldwide.
It concerns me that Sony has not taken the time to better test their "upgraded" software as clearly it has issues.
So for those of you out there that may have experienced a similar problem my advice to you is to remove version 5.2d from your system and install version 5.0 and you will be back up and running.
I am using an Sony Vaio with Windows XP Home Edition for those curious. My CDR/DVD burner is a Pioneer model.
I welcome any thoughts, comments or questions pertaining to this post.
Best wishes.
