Something is strange.. a couple of days ago when I burned cd:s with my cd burner it burned with 16x.. it is a 16x burner so... but now.. for some strange reason it changed the speed to 8x.. and nothing i do seems to work.. the cds cant be the issue because ive tried with different kinds and the problem still exists.. when i choose properties to the burner it shows that the fastest speed is 8x.. can someone help me with this? i dont understand why this happened
 
See if uninstalling and reinstalling the burning software fixes things.

If that does not work, then start in Safe mode, remove all optical drives from Device Manager, restart, and let Windows recognize them and reload their drivers.
