Lacey, I too manage just fine with only the XP burning software. So far I
have successfully burned document backups, audio and video files. It's
simple in that you just right click on a file and choose Send To... the CD
burner drive. The instructions are very clear and simple after that. The
only thing I did was to go in and lower the burning speed. Even the movies
only took a few minutes on a very low speed. What I haven't been able to do
at this late hour is find the program, but it does open automatically when
you right-click Send to CD, and I remember the properties were intuitive.
I also haven't installed WinZip yet, but don't think I've bothered trying to
zip anything.
hth, Sharon

| Well I guess its show time! This new computer I've been mentioning is
being picked up tomorrow morning and I'm supposed to go set it up and show
them how to use it! Its got WinXP home installed on it, and as I was
planning out what I will need to show these people who are pretty much
techno-weenies..... I was thinking of CD-burning software.
| My favorite is Nero and I was going to recommend that they use that one as
opposed to Roxio Easy CD Creator.... but then it occurred to me ..... didn't
I hear somewhere along the way that WinXP has its own CD burning software
built-in? Or that you don't need a third-party CD-burning program?
|
| And what about Winzip? I seem to remember hearing that WinXP has that
kinda built-in too....
|
| If someone could brief me on these first two questions ASAP then I can go
there and be able to appear to be fairly intelligent tomorrow morning.
|
| Anything else or any other surprises I'm likely to encounter? Their
internet isn't hooked up until next week so I will deal with the setting up
DSL issues after I'm over the initial hump

| Thanks in advance,
