Windows comes with a very handy tool for basic questions like this. It's called
Help and Support. Learn to use it.

How can I burn some files on a CD?

Do you have a CD burner? If yes, go to Vista's Help & Support and type
in "CD burning" for instructions.

Your burner should have come with a lite burning software. Install it and
learn to use it.
 
we are really stuck we keep thinking we have burnt the cd but it will only
play on the computer & not on a cd player? How do we burn the disc to play on
a cd player?

Don't know what software you are using but a music CD is not the same as
a data CD...

Usually, if you simply copy MP3 music files to a CD you will get a copy
of the MP3s which of course can then be reloaded as MP3s.

What you need is the option that says "Make a music CD"... that burns
the music as uncompressed files like those on your computer with a .WAV
extension. You will get fewer track on there but your music CD player
can handle them.

Most burning software will take care of the conversion for you if you
find the music CD option.
 
Some domestic and vehicle CD players will play MP3 files, but not all.
Generally speaking, you should burn music as an 'audio CD' if you want
compatibility with both of the above type CD players..
