>#1. Have you tried using the "maximize" button on top
right of your monitor to use full screen?
>#2. Do not "finalize" a CD-R after copying to it, that
will stop you from adding to it. Recommend you use CD-RWs
so you can add, delete or even format later. In
addition, do not compress files, it is not neccesary when
using WinXP NTFS files so you don't have to uncompress
them later. A formatted CD will hold about 560mb of
files.
