CD Writing Wizard

[Guest]

Since I installed SP2 on my Windows XP Pro machine I get the message "cannot
complete cd writing wizard" every time I try to burn a cd. I even bought a
new CDRW, installed it and I get the same message. Everything used to work
fine! I've gone in and checked the IMAPI and it is on. Anyone got any ideas?

Install Nero. It should have come with your burner. If not, it's pretty
cheap.

I had the same problem. I think this may solve your problem. It did for me.

(1) open CD/DVD burning drive property; (2) click AUTO PlAY Tab; (3) Select
BLANK CD; (4) put check mark on "PROMPT ME EACH TIME TO CHOOSE AN ACTION"
at bottom of the property screen and than click OK. I had tried everything
else and this seems to work. good luck.

Have a look at the post "Cannot do anything with the CD writing wizard" a few
posts above you..it sorted out my similar problem.

Sorry about that..I am new to these forums..details below

After many to's and fro's it was discovered that there was a missing entry
in the registry called "shellfolder for CD Burning"..I was given a script
from a "good" machine and converted it to a .reg file and imported it into my
registry..details of that script are below.....

This is the text of the .reg file exported from my good machine (between <
and >):

<Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{fbeb8a05-beee-4442-804e-409d6c4515e9}]
@="ShellFolder for CD Burning"

00,5c,00,53,00,48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,\
2c,00,2d,00,32,00,33,00,32,00,00,00>

I guess you know how to import registry keys, but in case not, you need to
paste the above into Notepad or similar text editor, and save as a file with
..reg extension, and then launch the file (double or single click depending on
how you have set up Folder Options)

Thanks to William George for this fix

Thank you Garfield You appear to be on to something positive. Before I commit
my "Good" computer registry export to my "Bad" Computer registry ,could you
please advise me . The CD Burner in my good computer is an ARTEC while the
burner in my Bad computer is a Lite-On . Question:- Are the registry
settings compatable for the burners as the text and the digits appear to be
different at present??
