Judith, I don't know if I can help you any at all as I have not used EZ CD
Creator for a long time and the OEM version I originally had, worked great
with JAWS, but the newer versions I had difficulty with. Anyway, one thing
I am confused about is the formatting of the CD you refer to. A blank CD
you purchase is already formatted. However, you need to be aware that once
you record to it, you can not record again. You can not change what has
been recorded either. so, I
'm wondering if you should be using what is called a CDRW (Compact Disk Read
and Write) which must be formatted and which allows you to use it,
essentially, like a floppy drive. When I format my CDRW's it takes several
minutes for the CD to complete formatting. I can't be specific because it
would depend on the speed of your drive and probably your computers speed
too, but I just don't exactly know.
Without going on and on, if this is getting anywhere near what you believe
may be a problem for you, just respond and let me know if you want me to get
any more specific. i'll do what i can to assist you.
John

Subject: the perpetual tale of the CD burner
> I hav the list of keystrokes that worked splendidly last week when the
tech was here but I still can't record anything on a blank CDD. I have no
idea what kind of burner it is, I got it from the commission. I tried to
format it it but when I tried recording a file I got an error message that
it wasn't recorded. Here is the list of keystrokes he gave me. Can anyone
help with this problem? Thanks, Judith
