Which program is best?
I was just wondering which program would be the best for burning cds or dvds.
I have Roxio, CyberLink PowerDVD and of course windows media player.
I have the disk for Roxio and have downloaded it myself, but the CyberLink came on my computer.
Is is really necessary to keep the media player?
I have a feeling that one of these programs may be keeping me from being able to use any new program. I cannot download anything to my computer but I was able to view a movie about 3 days ago!
:confused: :rolleyes:
Is there any hope for me and my computer??
Thanks in advance!!

Sometimes when installing dvd programs like you have, this situation comes up
When you say burning cd's what exactly are you burning? ( music, files, etc.. ) or just anything you want to burn
Is this the only question or are you having other issues as well, it seems to be a 2 or 3 part question

I want to burn some music cds (of my dad) and some photos. Haven't been able to do either for quite some time now.
I like the Roxio and am vary familiar and comfortable with this program. However, I cannot run ANY new program disks and have some that I need to download in order to teach my son at home. (math, science, english.. . etc.)
What is your opinion of CyberLink PowerDVD? It is on my computer, but I have never used it before.
Sorry if I confused anyone with my multiple questions!

If you have not used it and you are comfortable with roxio, uninstall powerdvd
Powerdvd came with my computer and as I personally use Nero for burning, I unisntalled powerdvd with no problems (as I am comfortable with Nero)
However, I cannot run ANY new program disks and have some that I need to download in order to teach my son at home.
Why are you not able to run discs, do error messages come up or anything?
Did these problems come after you installed roxio?
So, first unisntall powerdvd and see if that helps and post back with anything that may come up and why you can't run New programs you mentioned.

I uninstalled powerdvd with no problems. Thank you!
These problems weren't until after I installed Roxio but it had been on my computer for about 3 months before they began.
When I do place a cd/dvd in the drive, I get the message "insert a disk" on both drives. The drive lights up like it is going to work then it quits. The drive changes from "CD/DVD-RW Drive (D:)" to "CD Drive (D:)" and the icon changes to a CD.

Well. I tried this and it didn't seem to help either!
I can't remove the recording program and reload it either.
Any more ideas??
I thank you for all of your help so far!

Check this,
Click start, settings, control pane, system icon, hardware tab and device mgr
Are there any yellow marks anywhere, if so, what

It will let me remove it but if I remove Roxio, my dvd/cd drives aren't working and then I won't be able to reload it.

At this point go with a repair installation
Repair Installation
A Repair Install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used for the Repair Install. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will need to be reapplied.

If stlll have ing problems with system, youi can try the repair installation above, you will not lose any data or prgrams and stuff, it only replaces the system files from the CD
Once a repair installation is don, you will have to go to windows update and get all updates again
If problems other than system, where you do you exactly stand right now
