CD burning

[Guest]

I am having real trouble burning files (photos and word documents) to CD.
Burning music with iTunes is fine. When I try to use windows however I get an
error message that it can not be completed. I went to various sites and
discovered IMAPI is important and on my computer it keeps turning itself to
the stopped position (both on automatic and on manual modes). When I start it
again each time, I can burn a CD but then it stops again - I am really not
sure what to do

Cheers

Thanks, I had a look at that, but it didn't help. The issue (I think) is that
IMAPI thing which keeps turning itself off. I have tried uninstalling the
device and restarting and reinstalling the device.

Hi

From Start>Run run the following command:

services.msc

then scroll down to the Imapi Service. What is in the Startup Type column?

The space is blank. I can go in and put it to either maual or automatic and
the burner will work briefly, but immediately after that it is blank again
and the burner stops working

I think it may be another problem. The CD burner now just spins and whirs and
won't let me eject the disc, I have to reset the computer to get the disc
out. And it still doesn't burn the data. I have updated the driver and
reinstalled the device. Is the burner itself stuffed?
