Try this to burn a cue/bin by dragging the Cue file from Windows Explorer onto a shortcut on your desktop.

In notepad save these three lines to your vcdeasy/cdrdao/ directory as BurnCue.bat and put a shortcut on your desktop.

@Echo off
@cdrdao.exe write --device 1,1,0 --driver generic-mmc --buffers 64 --overburn --eject --speed 32 -n %1%
@pause


Before using the first time you will need to open VCDEasy and look at "CD Writer" under the "Main" button OR run a command line in the cdrdao directory and type "cdrdao scanbus" (no quotes). Note the device number of your CDR and change the --device line above to reflect that device. Change the --speed to whatever you normally use.

Now just drag a cue file on top of the desktop shortcut. If you have done it right, it will burn your disk. If it starts actually burning, but has a problem partially through the burn, it is probably because you have the speed too high. You can also try --driver generic-mmc-raw , or if you have an older CDR there may be a specific driver but those are fairly rare. See the cdrdao.pdf docs in the cdrdao directory for more information.
