I have the same problem in this thread and nothing has worked.

I do not have any burning software, that I know of, such as roxio or
Nero...why can't I use XP's software to backup my pictures to CD? I
shouldn't have to spend $80+ on this software to backup files should I?
That's all I want to do, I do not want to burn CD's...just put my pictures on
a CD-RW or CD-R...I would be happy with either one.

I went to my Real Player to see if I could burn a CD there but it said it
could not locate any CD burner on my computer...don't know if that helps.

Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
