Re: windows media player 11 burn tab not working

My mistake. I didn't notice the name change. The OP identified 3 other softwares. You identified only one in your post.

But if you have any of those others, the suggestion still applies, even with your Nero. And that means everything associated with those programs though the usual culprit is the drag to disk functionality, they all install pieces that affect and monitor your burner's state.

I have a totally clean install of Vista with no other Burning software
loaded, and I have this same symptom with a known good hardware setup which
worked fine on my previous OS with Nero etc.

You have identified 4 different CD burning applications on your PC:

Nero
Roxio,
Creative,
MusicMatch

Roxio is most likely the culprit and has caused burning problems a lot in WMP. I have seen some posts of burning problems in WMP caused potentially by Nero. Like I said, try uninstalling the software one at a time. Start with Roxio.



Any other possible solutions anyone?
