what's a mixed cd?
also, you'd be well off to let us know what version of which software you're using, whether you've tried and/or disabled the disc burner and iToons extensions, what's the make and model of your drive (in Toast, what does it say in Recorder Info)?
QPS doesn't make cd burners, they just buy other companies burners and stick them in cheap plastic cases, so two Que drives with the same specs will not necessarily have the same parts inside
[edit]
I guess since you're new to mac-ing, I should mention that to troubleshoot any hardware or system-wide problem with Mac OS 9 and below, you first go to the Extensions Manager in the Control Panels folder, choose "Mac OS All", then go an re-activate the extensions that came with your device (then restart). If this solves your problem, you have a software conflict and you must start the tedious job of finding which system extension is causing your problem
