I know this sounds insensitive, but format the hard drive and install Windows XP SP2.

Please tell us what program you are using to burn this photo cd.

I normally use Nero 6 or 7 to burn discs.

Let us know more details and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

I have a hp laptop with vista.. What program are you using. I should not take 6 hours to burn a photo cd?? more like 10 minutes...

Man I hate it when people say "Oh just downgrade to XP". What to jump on the bandwagon.


The quickest way to burn a CD with your photos on it is: Go into the folder with your pictures.....select all the pictures you want to copy right click on any picture.....choose send to....then cdr/w drive. Insert a blank disc and done.

hi all and thks for the imput. i did that kaj and that is when it was giving me the horrid time.

anyways, i have nero now and i am sure next time i need to burn photos it will work like a charm..( I used to use nero when I had xp)

My next suggestion was to use Nero. I think version 8 just came out.

Glad to hear you're able to burn CDs now. I tried to use Vista's built-in burning scheme but it just wasn't worth the time and effort to mess around and I'm pretty sure I remember wait around for way too long for it to pretend to burn a disc and gave up.

Cheers.
