RE: Recording Tab Missing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

I am sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience here!

From the post I understand that you unable to burn CD using windows XP
burning application. If I have misunderstood your concern please feel free
to let me know.

It seems that the MAPI CD-Burning COM Service cannot start normally which
could cause the issue. Manages CD recording is using Image Mastering
Applications Programming Interface (IMAPI). If this service is stopped,
this computer will be unable to record CDs. If this service is disabled,
any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Base on my research I would like to provide you with the following methods.

Suggestion 1: Use SFC command to perform System File Check

1. Click Start menu -> Run menu
2. Type "CMD" without quotation marks
3. Type the below command
SFC /PURGECACHE
SFC /SCANONCE
The first command is used to purge the file cache and the second command is
used to scan all protected system files during the next boot.
4. Restart your machine. System will scan all protected system files once
at the next boot.

If the issue persists please go to next.

Suggestion 2: Please boot the system into Safe Mode environment and test
the issue. Safe Mode loads a minimally protected-mode configuration,
disabling Windows device drivers and using the standard VGA display
adapter.

1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On
a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems,
you can press the F8 key when you see the Boot Menu.
2. In "Windows Advanced Option Menu", use the arrow keys to select Safe
Mode with Networking, and then press ENTER.
3. If you are running other operating systems on the computer, click
Microsoft Windows on the list that is displayed and then press ENTER.

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Jason Tan

| ADDITIONAL INFO -
|
| I confirmed that the CD Burner still works.
|
| 1) Installed Alchohol 120% - created an image from another cd, then
burned
| the image back out to a new CD, verified I could read the new CD.
|
| 2) Contacted SONY, their solution was to reinstall the whole restore CD...
|
| Not for nothing, why is that always the solution - reinstall everything...
