I'm back from the seeming dead using AC again...just moved, that's taken most of my time.

I found a problem with 2.0b4 when I just burned a single CD. It was created fine, no errors. However, after it was done I could not eject the disk, either with the button on the drive or right-clicking the drive and selecting eject. I assume the drive was still locked. I closed AC, as well as all other software. I waited (hours, actually, doing other work). I ended up having to restart the machine to get the CD out (I didn't resort to the paper clip). I have not tried replicating this, but I did search the; message board archives quickly and didn't see anything about this.

I am running Windows XP Home SP1 with all updates on a Compaq Presario 1500 notebook computer. It has an 8x "Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2102" CD-RW/DVD drive. The media was a Verbatim CD-R (the good stuff). This version was upgraded over 2.0something (I think beta 1). I had all index features turned off (this was not an image CD, it was a data directory, I used AC since it does a full verify. It is sunny out with scattered clouds ;-) .

Andy,

There are many things within the operating system that can lock you from getting your disc. I think that the key to see if some action is repeatable. Since as you noticed, no one else has reported this, I do not think it inherently an AC problem, but one never knows. I have seen this occur in my system, but it was not isolated to AC software. This has happened when I have burned using other software as well.

So I think the key, as mentioned above is to find a repeatable scenario.

Thanks for the report..
