The CD Burner program that is part of Windows Media Player in XP was
accidentally deleted on my son's PC. How do I reinstall this program?

Thanks but I've been there, done that. The "CD Burning 4" program was
deleted, as in GONE, and I need to install it.

CD Burning 4 is NOT part of Windows XP.
Fact is, I have no idea what CD Burning 4 is.
Google turns up nothing.

Wes,
I've looked at 4 PCs running XP and, when I go to Add/Delete Programs, CD
Burning 4 is listed on every one so I assumed it was part of XP. I can't
find it out there on the web either so don't know where it originated. Guess
I'll have to go third party for burning software. Thanks anyway.
Mike

Mike,
Are all of those machines the same brand? I.e. Dell, etc.? That might be a
clue.

Thanks. I'll see if that works. (Although we are leaving on a trip tomorrow
so it may be next week before I can try it.)
Regarding your question of PC brands, they are:
6-month-old HP that came with XP
1-year-old eMachines that came with XP
5-year-old HP that was upgraded to XP
6-year-old eMachines that was upgraded to XP (this is the one with the
"issue")
The diversity of ages and brands is why I assumed the program is part of XP.

If you can't resolve the problem a free CD burner program is offered
here that has worked well for me ...

John,
Thanks for the site. We were out of town and didn't get a chance to try it
till last night.
I now realize that my CD burner is being recognized by Windows as a CD-ROM.
I deleted the drive and let Windows find it again but it is not showing as a
CD-R/W. So I guess the problem is deeper.
The software that came with the burner (which was purchased a few years ago)
is Nero 5.5 which will not install on XP (it keeps hanging up mid-way through
the install) so I'm not sure of the next steps.
