Package for CD fails?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

I have just had a couple of failures with Package for CD writing to a
CD-R disk and wonder what software PowerPoint 2003 uses to do the
writing.

Does it use its own software, or the Windows XP software or the Nero
Express software which I have installed on the PC?

Could it be that the fact that the Nero Express was last used to write
to a DVD and PowerPoint was trying to write to a CD have anything to
do with the failures?

I did in fact change the Nero setting to "write to a CD" and then the
Package for CD writing worked but of course that may have been
coincidental.

Cheers

Geoff

Try choosing the copy to folder option and then use nero
--

Did that answer the question / help?

PPT uses Windows XP's CD writing capability.

I'm not sure if the change to the Nero setting would affect this or not, but
I do agree with John regardless -- when you Package for CD, choose the
option to package to a folder, then use Nero to burn the contents of the
folder to CD. (You won't burn the folder itself to the CD -- you want to
burn all the files inside the packaged folder to the CD.)
