I have Roxio Creator 9.1.068 running on a Windows Vista system.  Up until late last year (as of the end of November 2008 at least) I was able to burn  audio projects created using Sound Editor onto my Lightscribe CD+R discs with no problem.  I recently created a new project and tried to burn it as an audio CD.  The Roxio burn window showed that I had a blank disc in the drive, but also said "Insert Disc."  The OK button was greyed out so I couldn't start the burn.  I tried putting another Lightscribe CD+R disc into my other lightscribe burner to see if it was a burner problem, but exactly the same thing happened.  I then saved an image file (.c2d file) to hard drive to try to work my way around it.  I double clicked the image file, and the Disc Copier window came up, but it still told me to insert a blank disc - this time it told me acceptable formats were CD-R, CD-RW, CD-RW high speed, or CD-RW ultra high speed.  I then checked the Roxio help window on burning CDs, and it did not mention CD+R as being a supported format.  

I have burned at least a dozen CD+R discs using this software up until the end of 2008.  Did a new update in either Creator 9 or Vista remove CD+R support, and if so what is the reason?

I've never heard of CD+R - CD-R, CD-RW are the only ones I've ever heard of.

The only thing that uses a '+' is DVD

Never mind - it would help if I keep my Lightscribe DVDs separate from my CDs.
