I Can't Copy to CD

[jimbo]

I have somehow lost the capability to copy files to a CD. WinXP SP2
has always been able to select files or folders, and copy to a CD. Now
there is no option to copy to CD. If I select a file to copy and then
try to access a CD to paste, I get an error message window with the
mnessage: "D:\ is not accessible Incorrect Function".
There is nothing wrong witrh the drive because I have used CD burning
software to burn iso images to CDs.

Any help will be appreciated, jimbo

Open Device Manager and see if the drive is there or has an error of some
kind associated with it.

Device manager reports: "device working properly". I think there may
be a registry setting that has disabled the copy function, but I don't
know which setting.

Here is more detail on the problem. I select a file to copy and click
"copy". then I go to My Computer and click on the CD drive and click
paste. A window pops up with a message to insert a blank CD. I insert
a blank CD and then nothing happens. I know the drive is OK because if
I insert a recorded CD in the drive it shows the files. And I
regularly use this drive to burn CD iso files to CD. and I used the
same CD to sucessfully copy files to CD from another PC. (I am not
trying to re-use that CD.)

Heeeelp! What is going on? I still suspect that some functionality has
been inadvertantly turned off.

Thanks for the help. The problem was solved by uninstalling the drive,
then rebooting and letting WinXP reinstall the drive.
