look up the error code, i'm pretty sure thats disc not found, or damaged disc....

it is not the way you are burning them but rather how the cd player is set up... it's not set up to read whatever media you are using.... try CD-rw's or different types of cd's... some of them use different inks and such and that could explain why your friends work and yours don't


now that may be the problem or it could be you are writing them so fast that the disc is getting warped int eh drive.. try writing a cd at suttin like 16X with a read buffer (set it in the nero preferences) to suttin like 80+ megs.... that way you know the cd will be perfectly written without flaws
