CD Drive missing from "send to" list

[Guest]

Any ideasRight clicking on any file brings up a menu that includes "send to"
My CD drive (E) has disappeard from that list.. all other drives/media card
slots are still there.

Send To CD drive will only "work" if you have a CD-RW or a DVD-/+RW type drive.

Yes, i have a DVD+RW drive.. the drive used to appear in the "send to" list
but has, for some reason, gone. I have ensured that the Record tab is checked
in properties for this drive. I can actually write to it using other programs
but I do not understand why it has gone from this list.

If I drag and drop to a second "my computer" window, I get the "balloon"
saying I have files to be written, but when I try to write them, nothing
happens.

have you made sure the IMAPI service is set to automatic?

Thanks for the reply..Yes, IMAPI is set to auto (originally set to manual)
and is shown as started...
I have noticed today that is I use the 2 windows to drag and drop and then
physically eject the cd drive, the wizard comes up with "unable to
write..what do you want to do" and one of the options is to "write now"..I
select this and off we go??? I ahve no idea??
