I've been using this program successfully for months to burn avi files to CD. All of a sudden, when I try to do this, the program tells me it does not find a recording device - do I want to record to hard drive. I'm using the same external burner, same computer... How did this happen, but more importantly, where do I look to get this corrected. I've snooped around the commands and tried "help" but can't figure it out. Can you?
 
Try reading this from a previous question

Thanks very much for responding. Neither one of these suggestions worked, but they did lead me to the problem. Just so you know and if it helps anyone else, when I went to the "Recording" tab, it was there, BUT, the check box halfway down that page that says "Enable CD recording on this drive" was unchecked. I checked it, and sure enough, WMM recognized my drive. Don't know how it got unchecked but that's for another day. Thanks for leading me to a resolution!
