these programs have been installed for a while (roxio &
media player) but they just recently won't burn anything!
I have done full virus scan & it couldn't find anything.
Also have tried to send programs directly to CDR drive to
burn, will start the process but can't finish it! Any
other suggestions???

Thankyou...
