Ah so. I am trying to figger out how to use my CD burner; it appears I have a "hardware failure" and must save all "non-reinstallable" programs so that I can re-install something. All this in order to get warranteed new hardware for my CD burner..........if I get a CD burner working, I will send you a CD........haven't yet figgered out how to make the mp3 thingies.
