nero wont burn

nero wont burn...i dont know what else to say. i have windows xp, all worked fine. is it possible that when my son burned on his mp3 he has changed some setting somewhere? first we get a little notice about compatability, then when we press continue the burn option doesnt come up. i know you will need more info, but you will have to tell me what. much aloha from a very confused laurie

 

Laurie, are you able to burn a cd through windows xp?

 

my nephew, who is now on bonzai beach, 'did something' to enable my son to burn onto his new mp3 player. i noticed when i posted that the nero 'window' says mp3. it used to say audio file. i don't know how to change it back.......but I'm hoping one of you utterly brilliant (notice the ass kissing) people will direct me. for those who don't know me, please give all instructions in 'baby steps'. much aloha

 

OK, I understand. What I meant by burn in windows xp is this. If you
have a blank cd you can spare, do this:

Click on start > my computer > click on your cd burner and that will
open up a blank page. Now drag and drop whichever files mp3's
etc that you wanted to burn into that page.
When you have them all in there, click on
file (up at the left top) > write these files to cd.
Windows will write the files to cd. If that works for you, then
you know your burner is ok, and the problem is with Nero.
Try that and post back here.

 

Sorry I didn't read this post better. I think you just need to know how to
change your settings. Which Nero version do you have. I have
6.6 and if yours is similar, I might be able to help.

 

6.0.0.1.1. (i fink) nero start smart ??

 

no, it doesnt work on windows following your intructions. strange thing is that it is burning something......the cd's wont play in any of the cd players, but will play on our dvd player. the cd we did on windows wont play on the dvd either, just comes up with 'error'

 

correction... the music that works on the dvd player was burnt on windows, but not the way you said. on the kazza shared folder we have a music folder. if you click on a song in there, there is an option to 'copy to audio cd'. before when we have burnt cds on that we have always been able to play them on any cd player, ( i hope all this is making sense)

 

in addition, ALL the music files now say mp3

 

the music files were downloaded in whatever format one uses to burn cds. somehow they have all been 'changed' to mp3s. we used to be able to burn cds and play them on any of our cd players. now we cant. i have followed your instructions for nero express, but now have to wait for hubby to come home to see what it was he wanted to download. that will be about 6hrs. so i will be back. thanks to you both. much aloha

 

ps. sp2 was automatically downloaded sometime ago ??? i thought?? confused

 

will do, and thanks again.

 

didnt get around to playing with it last night, but i got as far as the window that now does say 'burn' and now has a little 'audio cd' on it instead of the mp3, so things look hopeful. will report back tonight.

 

still havnt tried it yet....that the trouble with my life...no organisation! will play with puter today. (sun is shining..beach is calling)
