NT4 and Win2K users can try this highly effective technique:
1) Right-click the Windows taskbar to select Task Manager.
2) Next, right-click the task that corresponds to your CD-burning
application, Adaptec/Roxio, Nero, or whatever.
3) Change the task priority from Normal to High.
Now your application will get all the CPU time it needs without shutting
down other tasks though they will slowdown noticeably. You can also set
your burner application to Real-Time so that no unseen or background task,
for example, Diskkeeper or whatnot will get any CPU time. This should
prevent the creation of coasters.
