Solve : Help with cd burning on XP? |
|
Answer» Hi Group, I am being driven mad with XP. I liked to click an icon on my desktop to burn with Nero. I then got a wizard to choose data or music and new or continue cd, also a bar line shopwing how much room I had. I dragged and dropped from ANYWHERE and then clicked the burn icon. wonderfully simple. XP is determined to make it a bloody awful job. I have tried and tried to search and get an icon on my desktop to make it easy. PLEASE HELP. Best wishes Dave ELet me get this straight... You want the same shortcut to Nero on your desktp right? [GLB]Flame[/glb]Hi Flame, YES YES. As long as it takes me to the wizard and not the long way around that xp wants you to go. Best wishes Dave E1. Right click on your desktop 2. New -> Shortcut 3. Click the Browse button 4. Browse to Ahead/Nero/Startmart 5. Select NeroStartSmart.exe 6. Press OK 7. Press Next 8. Name the shortcut (Default is NeroStartSmart) 9. Press Complete Additional: If Nero Start Smart is not the PROGRAM you mean, then search through the Ahead/Nero folder until you have located the correct program. Nero is most likely located in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero If you have used the default installation path. Additional two: Windows XP can drag and drop files you wish to COPY onto the CD. Simply select a file and drag it onto the CD/DVD writer. Then let go and it will be placed in a queue. Right click on the CD/DVD writer to select the option 'Burn files from queue onto CD'. Maybe a conflict with windows media player......which has burning software embeded in it..........? info>http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.phpHi, Thanks for the help. Windows Media Player burns music fine. I tried to run Nero Start Smart but it says there are files missing, please reinstall nero. I cannot because it does not show in the add/remove programs list. The DRAGGING to the cd drive worked ok but I cannot see how much room is on the CD. Any suggestions will be welcome. Best wishes Dave EUnistall nero.............and re-install......if its nero 6 see if there is a patch/or update for it? Quote 1. I tried to run Nero Start Smart but it says there are files missing, please reinstall nero. I cannot because it does not show in the add/remove programs list. 1. You may have (accidently) uninstalled Nero. Remove whatever folders and files remain and reinstall Nero. 2. CD's have a fixed amount of data that you can copy onto them. Simply deduct the amount of CD/DVD space by the amount of data you are trying to copy on to it. Right click on a file -> Properties to see the amount bytes a file consists of. |
