error burning pictures with cd writing wizard

[Haydensnana via WindowsKB.com]

Having a problem with burning pictures to CD. Using the Win XP to copy these
files and burn them to CD.

i have tried folders all at once and one folder at a time. One folder got
burned but next one wouldn't and ruined whole disc. I have folders in MY
Pictures file and each folder is labeled Jan, Feb, Mar etc. All pics in them
are jpeg's and I even took off the 'thumbnail' views in case that was giving
me the error.

I went through all the pics in the folders to make sure they were all good
and all jpeg's. All looked fine.

I have downloaded HP PHoto Essentials and tried using that to burn my
pictures. I get an error with that also. Same with NERO. NERO came up as LEAD
OUT FAILED.

I checked out the Microsoft forum and it said to check that the iMap service
was started and running----it is and has been.

I sit here while it is burning and it looks like it does the lead in --- then
the burn--- and the problem happens on the final steps for use.

Says
an error occured and cannot complete the CD - there was an error in the
writing process. The disc you have attempted to write may no longer be usable.


Shows as full in properties (0 bytes) yet no files or folders will show up.

I have burned hundreds of cd's in the past --- music, data and pictures all
with no problem.

Tried 3 different brands of CD-R's --- Memeorex, No Name and Verbatim --- all
same error. Now 16 CD's in garbage.

I turned off screensaver, disabled virus program, did disk cleanup and defrag.
No difference.

Check something for us.
Open My Computer and then right click on your CD drive listed there. Click
on Properties on the opening menu and click on the Recording tab in the
opening window.
What do you have there? There should be a box "Enable...." make sure there
is a check in this box and then try copying.
If there is already a check in this box let us know, the problem is
somewhere else, if XP does not copy after you have a check in this box let
us know.
If you already have Nero you can use it to copy photos, you simply select
copying data files.
