I am burning cd's with easy creator 5 basic with a Pacific Digital burner 48x and I can not burn an entire cd without this coming up and shutting me down. I have not been able to get through and entire cd for the last few days. What should I do?
 
Not enough info. What is the exact text of the error message? "creadr50 error" comes up blank for any search I do.

It states that creador 50 error has performed an illegal operation and will shut done. Would the problem come from my cd burner writing a too fast of a speed for the music file that is being burned?
 
I don't know if that's the problem, but it could be a factor.However it usually results in a "buffer overrun" error. Try burning at a lower speed. Also some mp3's might play fine in a player ( winamp for example )but the encoding might not be good enough quality to burn. Some music files may be corrupt to begin with and these will never work. The illegal operation error makes me think there is a problem with the install of the program, or something else on the computer that is conflicting with it. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the software. Also, before atempting a burn, make sure no other programs are running, disable virus protection, and select "copy to hard drive first" in the software.
