Sometimes when you upgrade or install programs the default settings of other
programs change. Your CD's are probably not auto finalizing anymore and are
still open when you try to read them on other machines. And they can't
because they can only be read by your burner program.
You floppie problem is probably just bad floppies or viruses.
Make sure you clean your system of virus, trojans and malware /spyware. This
could also cause your burner problem.
