You more than likely have a corrupted driver file for your burner or need to upgrade the firmware on it. In right click my computer if you have xp or computer if you have vista or 7. then hit properties. Click device manager and then under DVD/CD-ROM DRIVES your burner should be listed there right click properties on it. Hit Driver on the tabs at the top hit update driver. That should do the trick. If not you may have a trojan which acts up on the burner ive had a virus like that was forced to reformat the entire computer. Why are you using windows media player check out burn4free great easy to use wmp is known for many issues.
The Player may stop during the inspecting phase if it encounters any of the following issues:
•
A file is protected and you don't have a license to use the file. To solve this problem, connect to the Internet, and then play the file. The Player might be able to automatically download a license from the content provider. If you can't acquire the license, you may need to purchase a new copy of the file from a content provider. If you have an audio CD that contains the song, you can rip the song from the CD, making sure that copy protection is turned off, and then add the ripped track to your Burn list.
•
A file is protected and the associated license doesn't permit you to burn the file to an audio CD. To confirm this, right-click the file, click Properties, and then click the License tab. In the License details box, verify that burning is allowed. If the license doesn't permit burning, you might be able to purchase a new copy of the file from a content provider that allows you to burn it to CD.
•
A file is encoded with a codec that doesn't exist on your computer. Connect to the Internet, and then try to play the file. The Player might be able to automatically download the required codec or point you to a Web site where you can obtain it. For more information about acquiring codecs, see the column, "Codecs for Windows Media Player," in the Media Advice archive.
•
A file is corrupted. Try to play the file—if the file is damaged or corrupted, the Player might display an error message that indicates this. You will need to purchase a new copy of the file from a content provider or rip a new copy of the song from a CD.
•
The Player can't locate a file. In this case, the path information for the file that is stored in the library doesn't match the actual location of the file on the computer. Try to fix this issue by moving any file to the location specified by its path. For more information about configuring your library to display path information for your files, see the question, "How can I view the path and file names for files in my library?" in the Media Advice archive.

A file contains content that's different than what the file name extension suggests. For example, a Windows Media Audio file with a .wma extension may actually be a Real Audio file with a .ra file name extension that has been renamed to .wma. Try to play the file. If the file type and file name extension doesn't match, the Player might display a message that indicates this. You will need to purchase a copy of the file with a valid file name extension (either .wma or .mp3) from a content provider.
•
You are trying to burn an audio CD and a file in the Burn list isn't a supported audio file. For example, you may have included pictures (.jpg files) in your Burn list. You either need to remove these files or burn a data CD; only choose to burn a data CD if you're sure that the CD player you intend to use supports it
