I really appreciate your responses. I tried everything, even the Reg changes
but it didn't help.(Actually there was no "Higher level value" However,
finally I figured I should start removing various old SW. And now it works
again! I believe an old CD burn SW called InCD was the culprit. Or it worked
fine before SP2 was installed, so the combination seems wrong. I installed a
new SW, NTI CD maker Gold and have now managed to backup and burn new
CDs.Again Bob, Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Regards
