Hello Ken. . .not sure i'm doing this right. . .if not, accept my apologies.
..
I reinstalled the software that came with my dvd rw drive so it must be a
problem in windows. .
system restore does not correct the problem. . .the msg does say: .
"windows encountered a problem trying to copy this file, what do you
want windows to do?" then the option of "retry" or "cancel"
even if i "copy and paste" photos into the CD burning folder. . i get the
msg "you have files waiting to be written to the cd" but they are not
there. . .really need help. . . thanks R E (Gene) Foltz
installed windows service pack 2 a week a go and didn't seem to have
any problems but now they're popping up all over. . windows will not
copy anything to a dvd or cd. . .when trying, i receive message;
"windows encountered a problem trying to copy this file, what do you
want windows to do? then the option of "retry" or "cancel" Thanks in
advance for any help. . .. R E Foltz

Exactly how are trying to do this? This doesn't sound like it's an SP2 issue
at all.

First of all, Windows XP (with or without SP2) has no ability to write to a
DVD at all. Third-party software is required to do this.

Second, Windows XP (with or without SP2) has no ability to write to a CD as
if it were a giant floppy. You can only write to it using the Windows
CD-burning program. Again, third-party software (called packet-writing
software) is required for this capability.

OK, but next time, just reply to the thread you started. Don't start a new
one as you did here. And no need to change the subject line. I'll see your
reply.

What software? Why did you reinstall it? It should have still been there
after installing SP2.

Why did you run System Restore? What date did you restore to? Was it to a
date before you installed SP2?
