ok, I downloaded this.............once I finally figured out how,
lol..........had to register with the site.
I only have windows media player 11 on here.............can i burn this type
of file to a CD with that? I received a CD with a couple of Roxio products
on it and I've not been able to figure out which one I should install on
here or maybe both. I've used Roxio v. 6 on my old machine, but I can't
make heads or tails out of this CD..............lol. I love Roxio and am
familiar with it at least with just plain data and audio CDs (I know nothing
about burning dvds). I tried to google the two programs and on one of them
especially read a lot of negative comments, altho they were OLD comments,
some in '05 all the way up to '07. Seems there were a ton of problems with
it. The two programs on this CD are:
Sonic Digital Media Plus for Microsoft Windows XP &
Roxio Easy Media Creator for Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista
I'm thinking go with the 2nd one, since everything I read about the first
one was bad.
Geeze, I sure need a lot of hand holding since getting this new pc don't I?
