Friend with CDRW says it ran fine for a year, now all the sudden getting memory buffer errors when trying to burn. Tried deleting from Device Manager, tried reinstalling program. Got any ideas?

Nothing has been changed which effects the memory.

The buffer is the internal memory within the CDRW - normally 2MB (not a lot) if you have added any programs in the background, anti-virus etc it can slow the PC, this cause the buffer to empty which causes the failure.

Have you recently installedany extra software / hardware? try uninstalling it.

We still haven't fixed the problem yet, buy thanks to you and a few other answers, I understand it better. Thank you.

Try update the driver if available. Some cd burners has the capability to use the hd as buffer memory, try check on that. Also use CDs that are compatible to your burner's speed.

Still having the problem, but understanding it much more. I learned from all the answers I got. Thank you.

I get this on occasion also. You can slow down the speed of the burn. If you have a 12X writer, try dropping it down to 8X in whatever application you use to burn.

Still working on it. So far it hasn't helped, but I appreciate the information. It will be useful anyway. Thanks.
