Quick answer - Use good CD burning software instead of the very limited (and flaky!) built in capabilities of Windows XP. I swear by Nero Burning Rom for most burning jobs http://www.nero.com And Alcohol 120% for more advanced stuff http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ Other people will give you other recommendations. Both the above, plus most of the other recommendations will have a 30 day trial so you can spend some time finding out which one suits you.

Now another one. I have XP and can drag and drop to a CD or use the command from the menu "Send to CD". Why do I need Nero or other software? And after I Send to CD, can I add to it and not erase what is already there?I have tried this a time or two. Once it seemed to work just fine. Another time it began telling me I already had this picture and did I want to replace it or skip. I was putting on a new album of pictures so it should not be seeing a duplicate. Not knowing what to do I got a fresh CD and put that group of pictures on it all by themselves. Seems a waste of space though.
