Windows Won't Burn Discs.

Second time in the last month I've done so.

That's not a good sign. What is happening to it? Sounds like maybe you are installing something over again that is problematic.

Windows 8 seems to the problematic bit
The only things I have on this PC that aren't stock is Steam with some games, Minecraft, and a few emulators. It's a personal PC that I put together. When I get my second rig to breathe life, this will become my work-only rig, and will have little to no personal software on it. -

It sounds like they may be dirty, if that's the only thing you're doing. No web surfing at all? What are you using for AV?

I was wondering that too. Those are the most suspicious of the options.

Well, the issue is, I'm trying to operate my personal gaming rig and a business machine within one environment, on the same desktop. I'm using both Luke Filewalker and MalewareBytes. When I do have my personal-exclusive tower up, the software issues will be gone hopefully. Until then, I either have no workstation, or I dumped around $1200 into a rig that I can't use for personal use.

So if you right-click an ISO and then click on "Burn Image", what happens, exactly?
-
It puts it in "Files ready to be written to disc" And when I tell it to actually burn, it does nothing. And I mean that in the plainest sense of the word, it acts as though I never clicked the button.

That's not easy to troubleshoot.
-
No, no it isn't. Hence me being here for suggestions.
-
Can you just make a bootable USB drive instead for now?

That's not what is suppose to happen. That sounds like explorer got messed up, like when you try to run exe and they just won't.

Have you tried a piece of software like this: http://www.freeisoburner.com/ ?
-
Ah, files waiting to burn. Pop a blank disk into your drive, then click on it. Does it show files?
-
The program I'm trying to install REQUIRES a Disc. It has something in the software itself that prevents it from being booted installed Via USB.

Oh right. It does a scripted loopback mounting.
-
Greek to me, but it is doing something.

Have you tried this yet?
-
Yes. I tried to force a burn using the options on the "Files Waiting To Be Burned To Disc" page as well, and it does absolutely nothing.

The goal isn't to use that feature, but to empty it out first. Once you empty out the files waiting to be burned, you may be able to successfully burn the ISO.
