Need help for CD burner

[Joanne]

I have a roxio cd burner on my new dell computer. I haven't used it, and as old as I am I'm not sure what to do. I tried to CD burn my family tree and all I got on the CD when I brought it up was a lot of squares diamonds etc. Language that I don't understand. Can anyone help me. Thanks

Need more info.........Give us a step by step of what you are doing, details, details.

 

Maybe you can read some other post's so that you get the idea of what we are looking for. All we know is that you can't burn a CD. There are different programs in Version 7 that can be used to write a CD.

The help and tutorials might offer some help as well but as asked, we do need more info.

"I have a roxio cd burner on my new dell computer"

 

I didn't know that ROXIO made a CD burner. Or are you saying that you have a CD burner and that you have a Roxio program of some sort that came on your Dell computer. Many people that have a Dell computer have a basic version (not the same as the Roxio's program) of Roxio's EMC program that came installed on it.

Or try using the built-in WinXP burning - use the 'Help' function to find 'burn a CD'

Roxio doesn't make CD burners. What version of the Roxio software do you have?

I didn't realize XP had a built in burner. I'll try that. thanks .

I've a feeling Bruce she's talking about the software rather than the drive

[lynn98109]

Yeah, another one who doesn't understand there is a difference between a burner (the hardware that physically "burns" the program to the disc) and the burning program (the software used to create the data which is sent to the burner to burn).

 

Like people who don't understand there is a difference between the drive (the hardware that physiscally "burns" the program to the disc) and the driver (the information used by the computer to communicate witht he drive).

 

That kind of confusion causes communication problems

I knew that Roxio didn't make "Burners" Bruce. I was just making a statement for the OP's information. When Roxio starts making burners, I'll see about getting one though
