A friend installed it for me. It is there, I can read stuff from the D; drive that used to be my E: drive, I can read Cd's inserted in the new CD-ROM drive. But the software has me totally befuddled. Friend who installed the drive left town (literally) before we actually got to try ot burn something.
I'm an old dos girl, I thought you could just sort of say copy blah blah .jpg e: (wrong) or at least "save as" from photo deluxe. OF course I want the burner to make CD's to send to people - as a way of displaying my photos. I also thought it would be nice to make screen saver slide shows to sell and/or give to friends. I'm a dunce on this stuff. I thought I could wing it. The software that came with the burner is called NERO (hehe) and AHEAD software. Acrobat is included, in case you don't have it, to read the manual. I got this from office max for virtually nothing -- $70 coming back to me in rebates. So any ideas? I felt a bit less like an idiot when another friend told me of two computer savvy folks of his acquaintance (actually his son and his brother) complained of being quite confused by the software. I don't want to burn music, I don't want to do a video, all I want is to get files on a disk to back up my hard drive, to show people images, etc. I had thought that a cd could be used just like a floppy but if there is software around that will make it behave like that I'd sure like to know. annsan the easily confused
