Cannot Copy to CD
I can read disks on my CD Player, but cannot copy to Cd any more. When I
click on "My Computer" I get only part of the screen and the program hangs up. Once today, the screen did open and I copied one file to the staging area ready to copy to a CD. When I tried to copy that to the CD/RW, the program stopped responding. I have been using Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 to burn disks. When it could not work, I tried using the Windows XP way and generally have been stopped at the first step, "open My Computer". I ran McAfee's disk cleanup yesterday and it wiped out all old Restore points so I can't go back to before this started. I also downloaded Service Pack 3 yesterday, but it had no effect on the problem. Is there an update to the software in that part of Windows XP that might help me? -- First and Ten |

Cannot Copy to CD
Youre problem(s) exist in youre 3rd party software,conflicting with what
xp already can do.Try removing the cd writing software,as for mcafee,that software by itself is a joke,& if it now comes with diskcleanup,give it the deep six.Since when does anti-virus software have/get the ability to manage the OS hard drives.....

Yeah, right. I suppose everyone with XP who uses Word is similarly misguided because WordPad is a fully-fledged word-processing application that's completely up to any WP task required of such.

Cannot Copy to CD
In uninstalled the 3rd party software before I tried to do it the Microsoft
way. I'm not pleased with McAfee either, but it's paid for and has been effective as an anti-virus program. It was once the only anti-virus software that came with a Windows based machine. This morning I booted my PC from scratch and tried to copy the file Windows was holding in its secret place to a CD. It took 15 minutes but eventually "My Computer" opened completely and I was able to click on "copy to disk". Then it took another long time to tell me the disk was full (it was a brand new Memorex disk). I switched disks to another new one and, again after a very long time it took another step in the process. Finally, it says it did copy the file to disk. I checked using Windows Explorer and found the file on the CD. So now my problem is "Why is it working so extremely slowly?" Other operations are not working slowly, just "My Computer" and copy to disk. -- First and Ten "Andrew E." wrote: Youre problem(s) exist in youre 3rd party software,conflicting with what xp already can do.Try removing the cd writing software,as for mcafee,that software by itself is a joke,& if it now comes with diskcleanup,give it the deep six.Since when does anti-virus software have/get the ability to manage the OS hard drives.....

Cannot Copy to CD
Most likely you have a conflict between windows native ability and a third
party software. You may also have a damaged/conflicting driver for the CD ROM drive. Start with cleaning out other writing software and see what happens.
