Express interrupts but claims successful write

I just purchased Express Burn specifically to write CDs of the ISOs of a commercial linux distribution. When I attempt to write, choosing either maximum possible speed or 24x, the write goes through the first stage (completing the green bars) then about 1/5 into the second stage ("writing tail-in/tail-out", as best I remember), it ejects the CD with the following message:

 

"The image file has be successfully written to CD"

 

The CD cannot thereafter be mounted or read. I have tried this five or six times with different settings, including writing via Media Player. All result in the waste of a writable CD.

 

I am using V1.08 of Express Burn with Windows XP Home, SP2 installed. The hardware is a pretty basic Emachines T2341 - nothing out of the ordinary at all, except that the images reside on an extra 160 MB disk that I added.

 

Any ideas?

I downloaded Express Burn again to a different machine (an IBM T42 Laptop running Windows XP Pro/SP2) and tried this operation again. I got the same result.

 

I'm beginning to think this feature was broken in V1.08 as I successfully performed the same operation some months ago in demo mode using an earlier version (I don't know which one, unfortunately). That success was the reason I was willing to purchase Express Burn.

 

So. Either this feature is no longer functional, or I'm doing something really dumb. Can anybody tell me which it is?

 

Thanks,

Joel

Final piece of evidence on this: Using the T42, I downloaded the demo of another package capable of burning iso's. No problem. Worked great. It's not the computer and it's not the ISO. It's either the feature or the user. And I had no problem making the other package work...
