Help me to find a driver for this model of DVD-RW. Sometimes it "cracks" (sorry for my English-I'm a Ukrainian)and spoils the DVDs I try to burn (it simply makes them unreadable). When I reinstall my OS, it works properly. But in few months something happens and it starts messing around, driving me insane.
I think the problem is that the current driver is developed and provided by Microsoft. Maybe you know where I could find some newer and better driver.
Please !!! Help spare my nerves.
Thanks !!!!

You must keep that mess from accumulating on your hard drive, ie: virus, spyware, adware, and other nasties. Get something like Norton 360 and you won't have that problem again.

There are no updated drivers... Microsoft packages everything required with the OS and with SP2. Make sure you have those service packs install along with following save browsing habits. Also, you may need to update your recording software, dvd decoding software, etc. to newer versions.
