Hi Peter et al, I tried this but I can't seem to find a button or whatever that starts the burn process. I used to be able to insert a music cd etc into my cd drive and when the software had temporarily copied the contents, I was then prompted for a blank disc, which when inserted got busy copying. When the process was finished the finished cd would pop out. Are you using windows 7? Might look for a windows 7 compatible version of easy cd creater.
