To copy photos to CD-R or CD-RW using XP



1.. Insert a blank CD-R 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. 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. 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, 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. 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. 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.


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 now 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. Then Enable
recording. You tried this, but you can't find a Recording tab. If so, update
the CD driver so it is compatible with XP or something else is wrong as
under items 3 or 4 below.



3.. It still does not work. 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 photos (make a data CD with Roxio 7). If you have other
music CD copying software make sure you upgrade to a version that will not
interfere with XP.
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 data files if there is no specific copy photo files option.

==============================================
Do you have Digital Image Suite 10
or Digital Image Pro 10?

If you have the Suite...the Library has
an archive feature.

If you have Digital Image Pro 10, there
is no option for archiving.

The following articles explain how to copy
files to optical media in WinXP:

Actually, if you have a burner you should have
software that came with it...possibly...Nero or
Roxio? Have you tried it?
