Hello Jim and list, The method described below seems quite long winded to me, I have managed to burn a disk using Windows Media Player on Win7 without having to use the library, I simply copied the files I wanted to burn to the drive, then chose "write these files to disk" from the file menu as I normally do on XP, and followed the instructions in the wizard which opens up.
