Hi, I'm new to all this, and have a couple of files with the extension of .iso When I open them all I get is a half second of a black window, you know, the kind you get when you run a dos prompt. Is there a trick to opening them? I'm running XP. Thanks,

I was just at the local KMart, and noticed they had Fuji 48x 50-spindles on sale at $12.00 ea. (no rebate). I bought a spindle and they are TY's. I suippose I could hold off till somebody offers them for less via rebate, but att 12 bux, I guess I'm not gonna worry about those rebates that are...

My Samsung CD burner came with a CD-RW and it formatted and I can use it at a 600 meg floppy. perfect. So I bought a few more RWs. When I format those the drive is locked! I can't write to it. What the heck did I do wrong?

Hello! My old 4-years old Sony (4x) burner died earlier this week so I bought a brand new Plexwriter 48/24/48A on recommendation from several sources. It came with Nero 5.5.9.8 so I installed that too (had an earlier version previously). I have successfully burned many (hundreds) of CD's with my...

I'm having trouble getting directCD to work in EZCD 5.2. It can format a CD-RW using directCD, and when I insert it, the desktop icon changes, but moving/copying files to it doesn't work. WinXP thinks I'm trying to copy data to a normal CR-RW.

I've been using NERO to copy and burn music cd-r's for about 6 months. All went well (after a slow learning curve) until recently when the last track of every cd I burn (using both NERO and NERO EXPRESS) is silent. The "time" for the track is correct, but no sound is heard as it slowly ticks off...

I've recently upgraded a PC using parts from my existing systems. Unfortunately, the new PC frequently freezes or generates errors when attempting to install software from CD. I suspect a weak reader may be the cause, but was hoping to run a few checks or tests on my drive (Ricoh 7125a CDRW) as it...

Collective Wisdom: I want to change the default dir. EZCD 5 uses to store images. It defaults to My Documents, but I want it elsewhere. I see no editable .ini file, and a search of the registry was fruitless. I also looked at Roxio's site and tech is silent on this matter. Why would they hard-code...

I recently bought a TDK Velocd 40x12x48x but then I got a new computer that came with Samsung SW248F, 48x CD-RW drive. Without starting a flame war... can anyone tell me if they are about equal or if one is much better than the other? Thanks!

I recently formatted a 700 mb CDRW disc using InCD (4.0.1). If I select PROPERTIES for this disc in Windows Explorer it shows the capacity to be 539 mb. Shouldn't the capacity be closer to 700 mb? I don't recall seeing any options related to this in the software. Thanks for any info.

Audio CD's sound "muddy". I can extract a track from a "muddy" CD to my hard drive and it sounds fine. I have tried both analog and digital audio cables and they both sound the same? My previous Sony CD-R also sounded muddy. Any ideas? Windows 2000 SP4 ("Enable digital CD audio" is...
