my computer has a dvd burner but it won't let me burn dvds. do I need some special software too?

yes, i'm sure this is a stupid question, but whatever. why would they load my system with every software under the sun, advertise the dvd burner and not include that software?

yes, i can burn cds. I use nero for that. I forget the error message it says. I haven't tried in a while & just remembered the issue this morning.

Are you trying to burn dvd's through nero as well? if so it could be something as simple as using a disc that your dvd drive can't recognize (-R or +R for example). There is a way to check those stats through Nero and i'll try to look for it when i get home unless someone else can find it first.

Oh and error messages/error codes are helpful too :wink: .
