      It has happened to me too - twice. I kicked myself for doing it again the second time :doh: . BTW - Vista is retarded has retired. FTFY

                  On a different note, the bluetooth utility (the "inbuilt" one) is seriously messed up that I have a real tough time using it. Even with Windows 7. It's funny how they cannot get something as simple as this straight and usable.

                      Yep, I second (or third) that recommendation.

                          Next time you come across a nice app that just works, don't recommend it to CG. The moment he starts using something, it will fall apart.

                            I use Astroburn Lite in conjunction with Daemon Tools ... they are both freeware and cover all my needs for burning/ISO/mounting/etc. ...

                              Vista could certainly do with a lot of improvement. Isn't it a pity there isn't a new version out which fixes a lot of its bugs? :rolleyes:

                                      I'd second that, except a few months ago I burned a CD on my daughter's laptop using it and it totally messed up the burn. I tried again, changing settings and it wanted to truncate long filenames (which weren't that long.) Further checking found that CD Burner XP has some gaping holes in it. I installed an OEM Nero 6 that I had and it worked perfectly.

                                        I haven't had any problems with it. Where did you find a writeup about problems with cdburnerxp?

                                          In their forum. You have to do a lot of searching. They had no answer to the problems I ran into. In the end, I suppose it works for some people, but be prepared to end up with coasters. And make sure you test anything you burn on another computer (which is true for all CD/DVD burning software.) As for me, I don't have the patience to bother trying it again. Nero and CD Creator work just fine for me.
