If the other computer doesn't have D2D on it, then be sure to finalize the disc when you eject it (mark it for use with other computers).

The best way to exchange data reliability between PCs is not to use D2D unless the other PC has the same version of D2D.  Use Creator Classic and avoid these type of issues.

Tim,

Drag-2-Disc formats discs in a special proprietory way. Just uninstalling the program isn't enough to return your formatted RW discs to general use, you need to ERASE them first to get rid of the formatting.

If you put a formatted disc into your drive, Drag-to-Disc recognizes the format and seizes control and won't let Windows use it. So (1) click the Drag-to-Disc menu and disable that drive for Drag-to-Disc. (2) Erase any formatted RW discs you want to use, so they are truly blank.

Regards,
Brendon
