You haven't said what sort of DVD writer you've bought: CDVDburn doesn't support all makes/models. I use a LiteOn and it works without any problems. In fact, you haven't even stated that you're using CDVDburn. Sorry if this question is stating the obvious, but you have upgraded to CDVDburn haven't you? The CDburn that comes with the Iyonix will not burn DVDs. Assuming you have upgraded, I think it would be better to post the question on the CDVDburn list. -- Mark Syder (like the drink but spelt different) www.onlinegenie.net --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
