Pissed off!

I've got a traxdata cdrw4432 and its only 1 month old but for some reason its decided that its only gonna burn at 2x although all the programs(Clonecd,Cdrwin,Discjuggler) think that it is successfully burning at 4 speed....I'm not new to burning but anyone got any ideas!?)...I've reinstalled win98 and it's still the same...The speed test on nero also thinks that its 4x but it's taking me fukin 36 minutes per cd!....I don't think that its always done it cause i would have noticed..
