On logon balloon : "you have files waiting to be burned to disc"

[Guest]

Hi,
each time logging on in Vista a balloon pops up with the message "you have
files waiting to be burned to disc".
Clicking on the balloon results in opening of window showing the empty g:
drive with a message to place writable dvd. However the g: drive is a dvd
reader (so writing is not possible). I think there are maybe some files in
cache to write on the g: drive. However I can't find this cache.
Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of this irritating (userspecific)
balloon popping up after each logon? (or the location of the cache for
writing on cd/dvd).
Thanks,
Peter

Open the CD/DVD burner drive (or click on the balloon to view the files as
it suggests), view the files waiting to be written to it, select all of them
and delete them. Done!

The problem is that, when clicking on the balloon, the explorer window is
empty! And, after clicking cancel on the dialog that tells to insert a
writable dvd/cd, the explorer window disappears too! (note: The g: drive
opening up is not a R/W drive but a readonly dvd player.)

Ugh.... this is totally annoying. I am having the same issue as
Peter. I ballon says I have files waiting to be burned. I click on
the balloon to delete the files and it tells me that I have to place a
CD or DVD in my E: drive. What gives? How do I get rid of this?

Thanks Moripa,
Best Answer, Best reply.

The above (your reply only) is what most people see. You used
"techarena.in", one mostly leech site, to reply to a conversation that
started and ended in March 2007 - until "Moripa" responded eight months
later (December 2007) and you jumped in a couple of years later+... And
didn't even respond to "moripa", but to the original poster because you are
using the leech site. ;-)

For those interested in the actual archived conversation:

Glad you found what you needed - but you may want to choose a different way
of posting than techarena.in... Just suggesting.

hi all, i am having problem with cd burning, it says ...in progress
..but later D drive is not recog any cd in and i cant open it , and
also i got this message that windows cannot complete formatting ..
please please help ......

Windows Vista _____ Edition with Service Pack _, __-bit?
Using what burning program?
Burning what (actually CDs or DVDs)?

If you are referring to using the native Windows Vista tools - have you
tried any third party tools?

Have you tried other brands of media?

Could it be that your CD/DVD drive is physically dying? Did it work before?
