Missing Module - CD Writing Wizard

[Dwight Stewart]

When I attempt to write to a CD using the CD Writing Wizard included with
Windows XP, I get a "Cannot Complete the CD Writing Wizard" error message,
with an additional comment in the Event Viewer about a missing module.

"The Application Management service terminated
with the following error: The specified module
could not be found."

Where can I download another copy of the CD Writing Wizard to reinstall on
my computer? Or, absent that, where can I find the module for the CD Writing
Wizard on my computer and what additional files are needed to make it work?

Check the disks that came with your PC when you purchased it. There should
be one for installing your CD drive (probably D drive). Insert the disk and
try
an install.

Already checked those disks. One is an OEM Windows CD that appears limited
to a new installations only (no partial or repair install) and the other CD
is for the installation of drivers and applications (with none of that
related to the CD). Besides, there has to be something easier than returning
the hard drive to the state shipped by the manufacturer, and reinstalling
all the updates and independant applications, just to fix this problem. I
had a backup of the drive, but, after installing that, the problem remains
(meaning the problem started before the backup was made and it was backed up
with the rest of the hard drive). Sadly, I haven't had this computer long
enough to have more than one backup.

I just use 'SendTO' & then try to eject cd drive ->
msg asking to write files. Is that Wizard?

CDs r a PITA.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

I haven't needed to run any software to install a CD or DVD drive in
years. Most of them are IDE drives, and found automatically by Windows.

I've never used the Windows XP CD writer software, because it's useless.
My last CD and DVD came with Nero software, which does my CD/DVD making
just fine.

There is nothing wrong with the drive itself, or the drivers for it. Other
software can write CD's without problems. Instead, the problem is isolated
to the CD Writing Wizard - or, more specifically, one or more of the modules
the Wizard calls to handle the actual CD writing task.

software, because it's useless. (snip)

I disagree with the useless claim. While I have several programs on my
computer to handle various CD writing tasks, the XP CD Writing Wizard was
(past tense in my case) ideal to quickly burn a file or app to a CD, to use
myself on another nearby computer (something I do daily) or distribute to a
co-worker, family member, or friend.

You're missing a step. When you select "send to," the files are simpy
stored in a folder ready to be written to the CD. In other words, they're
not on the actual CD yet. You still have the extra step of actually going to
the CD drive, right-clicking on the icon, and selecting "Write these files
to CD" in the pop-up menu. Only at that point will the Wizard appear and
actually write the files to the CD itself.

By the way, the "Write these file to CD" option is also available in the
left pane of the window presented when you double-click on a CD drive with
files ready to be written.

So it is Wizard. I use Classic W so dont seee left
pane.

Since Wzard is part of OS & NOT addable like
Acessories, I *guess* u need to RepairInstall which
I've never done.

Suggest u repost with RepairInstall in Title to get
attention of an expert.
