You don't need any software to burn photos to a CD.
You just use XP. You are on XP. So why do you want some software to burn
photos to a CD.
Below are the steps to use XP to copy photos to a CD. If you have a problem
doing this, let us know where the problem comes up and we will help again.
To copy photos to CD-R or CD-RW using XP. (01-01-05)
1.. Insert a blank CD-R (or CD-RW) into your CD drive. Wait about 15-20
seconds for XP to recognize that a CD-R has been inserted. A window may
open, with a variety of options in it or no option in it. You don't need any
of the options in this window to copy to a CD-R. There is a Cancel button at
the bottom of this window. Click on it to close this window or click on the
red X square at the top right. If this window does not open, this is fine
just go to step 2.
2.. Click on My Computer and navigate to the folder where your pictures
are located. Open the folder so you can see the files you want to copy.
3.. You now need to select the files you want to copy. Do you want to copy
all the files in the folder? If so, hold the Ctrl key down and press the
letter A. This will select (highlight in blue) all the files in the folder.
If you want to select only some of the files, click on the first file you
want to select. Remove your finger from your mouse and move the mouse
pointer over the second file, hold the Ctrl key down and click on the second
file you want to select. Continue doing this until all the files you want to
copy are selected. Each time a file is selected it will be highlighted in
blue. If the files you want to select are listed in a row, you can do it
this way. Click on the first file, remove your finger from the mouse and
move the mouse pointer over the last file. Hold the Shift key down and click
on the last file you want. All the files between the first and last file you
clicked on will be highlighted in blue.
4.. Once you have selected the files you want to copy, look at the menu on
the left of the selected files. The top menu should be "Picture Tasks". The
last item listed under "Picture Tasks" is "Copy to CD". Click on it. The
other way is to right click on one of the selected pictures. A menu will
open. Click on Send To. Click on your CD drive on the opening list.
5.. The copying process will start (a small window opening at the top of
your screen indicating the progress, wait until completed, also you may not
see this window if you are copying just a few files because the operation is
too fast) and you will get a message, right hand corner bottom of your
screen, "You have files waiting." Click on it.
6.. A window will open. It will show you the photo files you just selected
to copy. Look at the menu on the left and click on "Write these files to CD"
..
7.. A Wizard box will open. Just follow the directions on the screen to
complete the job.
8.. Once you have copied the photos to the CD you may want to copy more to
it in the future. Just insert it instead of inserting a blank CD and follow
the same directions. Just make sure you have enough space on it to add more
photo files. A CD will hold 700 MB but with photo files, don't try to fill
it. Limit to about 200 - 300 photo files per CD and not more than a total of
600 MB. Otherwise it can take a long time to open this CD to view the files,
but if you don't mind the time you can fill it.
9.. During copying, you may get the following messages "File XXXX.jpg has
extra information..." or "The thumbnails information will be lost..." In
both cases, click on YES, not on Skip, in the message box.
Some problems with the above:
1.. You looked for the command "Copy to CD", but it is not there. If so,
repair this way.
Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the opening textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
And press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between .32 and SHI..
You did the above, but still no "Copy to CD" command available. Go to step 2
below and check if your drive is set to recording.
2.. You can find the "Copy to CD" command but it still does not work.
Check if your drive is set for recording. Open My Computer, look under
Devices with removable storage and right click on your CD drive. Click on
Properties. A window will open. Click on the Recording tab at the top of
this window. Then check, Enable recording box. Also, check the box "Eject
after recording" .
You tried this, but you can't find a Recording tab when the window opens. If
so, update the CD driver so it is compatible with XP (particularly if you
upgraded to XP from 98 or ME) or something else is wrong as under items 3 or
4 below.
3.. You may have installed some CD copying software to copy music CDs. If
so, this may be interfering with XP. If you use Roxio, update your version
to at least 5.3 or above. If you have Roxio 7, use this to copy photo files.
Use the option Copy files instead of copy music. If you have other music CD
copying software make sure you upgrade to a version that will not interfere
with XP or use this software to copy your photo files to CD.
4.. You may have purchased a new computer with a CD/DVD burner. If so, don
't use XP to copy to CD, use the software supplied by the manufacturer and
select the copy files option if there is no specific copy photo files
option.
5.. Instead of using the Copy to CD command you used the Send to command
and no CD drive is listed there. If you upgraded to XP you should check that
you have a driver for your CD drive compatible with XP or first check that
your drive is Enable for recording as given above. Sometimes you get the
instruction to send to a writable CD drive on the list but you don't get
writable, you get drag and drop or simply the CD drive letter. Click on it,
provided you have checked that the drive is Enabled for recording.
6.. If none of the above works, check the manufacturer of the CD drive web
site for a driver compatible with XP, particularly if you upgraded to XP.
You just use XP. You are on XP. So why do you want some software to burn

I am having the same problem. From Yves instruction my problem starts at #4:
if I click on copy to CD I get a box in the upper left hand corner that says
"Make CD". I click on it and nothing happens; if I right click on pic and
choose send to cd, I get an error message that says "D: not accessible
incorrect function. HELP!! I also checked under "My Computer" and right
clicked on the CD drive to look for the "recording tab" but do not find it.
I checked on updated drivers as suggested and find none. Thanks...

Then you have to tell us a little bit about your computer.
1. This computer came with Windows XP installed on it?
2. If the answer to question 1 is NO, did you upgrade to XP from 98, ME or
2000?
3. Do you have an early version of Roxio on your computer. Something like
5.0 or below, or some other CD copying software that you may have used to
copy music CDs?

Yes, the computer came with XP installed along with Roxio 5.1 (I don't recall
ever using this program) Thanks
ever using this program) Thanks

Yves Alarie
This is the problem. Roxio 5.1.
You can do two things.
1. Uninstall this Roxio 5.1 if you don't use it or plan to use it. You go to
Control panel and Add/Remove and find Roxio 5.1 and uninstall. Reboot the
computer and now try XP.
2. Update Roxio 5.1 to Roxio 5.3. You go to the Roxio internet site and
update. Now, when you go to the site, there is a difference between "Update"
and "Upgrade". Update is free, Upgrade is not. Upgrade is to Roxio 7 and
will cost you. Update is to Roxio 5.3 and is free.

Thank you Yves - I updated Roxio and now I am able to copy pics to CD, etc.!
since I do not know what Roxio is, I thought I would check it out before I
removed it. Thanks so much...

Great. Just be aware that if you use Roxio 5.3 and you then want to use XP,
you will have to right click again and set the Recording tab again to get XP
back. An annoyance and even if you upgrade to Roxio 7, you still have to do
this.
