Hi,
Is there a third party CD recording program (Nero, Roxio, or other)
installed? If so, then you should be using it to write to disk rather than
the native WinXP writing software. What you are seeing is common when other
programs are installed, as they disable the native imapi burning service, so
the options in explorer are not available.
If no other software is installed, click start/run and type cmd, then click
ok. From the prompt, run:
net start imapi
This should start the necessary burning service. You can run services.msc
and set this service to startup automatically if it is disabled, however do
not do this if other burning software is installed. By design, this service
should be disabled to prevent conflict if other software is on the system.
