Thank you for sharing your insight. I had set my CD
drives to enable recording. The settings had no affect
and the issue remained. I will review all the links that
you have referenced. I certainly need to learn more
about the capabilities and limitations of XP Pro and
Windows Media. I am learning not to take too many things
for granted.
Thank you again.
