Can't copy to CD from My Documents

[Guest]

In July I was able to copy documents and pictures from My Documents and My
Pictures to CD Now I can't I tried to restore my computer to the date when
I was last able to copy to CD from these files but it won't let me. I was
told to Click on My Computer, rt click CD drive, select recording tab to
make sure the box was checked to enable CD recording. I didn't find a
Recording tab. Sounds like a problem to me.

Are you using third-party burning software? What changed between the
time things worked and the time they didn't? Is the IMAPI service
running? Start>Run>services.msc [enter] to see.

This is why it is always a good idea to quote the exact error message:
