I use Creator 4.0. on a Plextor 8X drive without buffer underrun protection. I had a rate of failures with version 3.5 and 4.0 both with this drive of about 25% until I changed to brand name disks. Since then I have had a ZERO failure rate.
I always shut down all programs in my task bar prior to cutting a CD and I do not move the mouse or use the computer in any other manner during recording. I make a CD image prior to final recording, and I make sure anything that has a times shut down, like screen protectors, drive spin down, and sleep modes, is shut off. I will agree, however, that once Creator 4.0 gets any type of error, you have to reboot the computer to get it functional again. This seems to happen if I use any of the utilities that come with the program, like spin doctor, sound editor, etc, and then go back to CD Creator afterward.
