No recording tab in properties of CD burner

Guest

I am using Win XP Pro SP 2 on a laptop that has all of the updates. I
haven't used Windows to burn a cd for over 6 months. I noticed today that
the burn options were not showing up any longer. I checked the DVD CD-R/RW
properties and notice the recording tab was not there. I Googled the problem
and checked the registry for the settings in the drive type line. They were
correct. I can burn using Nero, and the cd drive label shows it is a DVD
CD-R/RW. Somehow I lost the ability for Windows to burn CDs. Media Player
will burn as will third party software. I would appreciate any suggestions
as to the cause and fix for my problem. I am spyware and virus clean. I
have used regedit and regseeker in the past.

Jerry, rt click MyComputer>select Manage>Services. See if your " IMAPI
CD-Burning Com Service" is started. If not
Start it.

Rich, IMAPI cd-burning services was started and set to manual. I stopped it,
rebooted, then started it and rebooted. Record tab is still not showing and
recording with xp not working.

Rich, It sounds like the exact same problem. I will try to touch base with
him to see if it was ever resolved. I wish I could supply additional
information about what I was doing when it began, but I have no idea when it
happened. Keep me in mind if you run into any fixes in the future. Jerry
